Slow, steady Sunday

The weather turned cold again yesterday here, and suddenly the prospect of bundling up in 50 layers and having my lungs freeze with every breath was not my idea of a good time at all. So after hubby got home from singing at Mass, I suggested we just spend the day at home. My knee was very tender and my thigh muscles were hurting, so being a lazy wimp was acceptable to my brain. Son and hubby spent time playing games on the Wii , the computer and wrestling each other - they are really the best buddies in the world. I decided to begin a knitting project ( a shawl , simply to refresh my hands on how to do the stitches), and hubby and I spent time just talking and being. It made for a nice , relaxing afternoon. It is going to be a tough week homeschool wise, and being refreshed help me to do what must be done.
