Ditching

We ditched church today. No real reason. I just didn't feel like going today. That's a rare happening. Well, truthfully, there are many Sunday mornings when I don't feel like going through the whole Sunday morning routine--making everyone get dressed, brush their teeth (why is that such a big deal?), eat something before we leave, find their scriptures, etc. It's usually a frustrating time, but we end up there on time (usually early) and end up enjoying the day.

This morning...I just didn't want to deal with all of that. I didn't want to get dressed or showered or get out of bed even. I wanted a lazy day. I feel a little guilty about that, but not guilty enough to actually get out of bed. The boys have used this ditch-day to their advantage. James has laid around with Richard watching TV, helping cook some lunch and just basically enjoying having his dad around. I have been in bed. I watched the part of Saturday morning conference that I missed last week. I've played Facebook games. I'm watching the Cowboys "play" right now--then will switch to NASCAR. Richard and I might take Larry for a walk together later this afternoon.

I'm not sick, although I do have a headache. I'm just tired. Maybe it's the weather. I haven't seen the sunshine in over a week. We have a three-day weekend. I'm hopeful that I can get back on track tomorrow--get some cleaning done, dinner cooked, etc. Richard's staying through Tuesday evening so he can go to Chris's orchestra concert Tuesday night. I guess we all need a day like this. Although it's true that when one doesn't want to go to church, that's usually the time when there's something there that is specifically for me, but I really don't feel too badly about today. It's a rare thing when we ditch. We'll get back in the swing of things next week. Of that I'm absolutely sure.
