My two boys, who are only 6 and 8 years old, have already learned to appreciate the coming of the weekend. It’s not that they don’t enjoy school or all the other myriad of after school activities and sports they participate in, but weekends are just so liberating. There’s a more relaxed schedule; you can sleep in and just lie on the couch and watch TV all day if you want, and there’s plenty of time to spend with friends doing the things you love to do. This week, Saturday came around pretty quickly, as we were so busy that we didn’t have time to think about what day it was before it was over and time to get ready for tomorrow, but that doesn’t make the coming weekend any less appealing to us all.
I will be heading back up to Roi-Namur tomorrow to do some diving and spend some much needed time with my honey. Work has been so hectic for both of us the last week or so that we hardly had a chance to even chat or catch up on our lives. The boys will be with their dad this weekend, spending some much needed time in their own beds since they’ve been with me in our friend’s home off and on for the past weekend and throughout the week. It’s simply not as relaxing for them to be out of the only home they’ve ever known, and I understand that. I am looking forward to sleeping in my own bed tonight too.
So, the weekend is off to a good start, getting some much needed rest and looking forward to new adventures to share with you tomorrow. Maybe I’ll be able to add to our Lost Tank dive discoveries or at least write about the fantastic underwater world I am so lucky to be allowed to dive in and enjoy. It’s all part of life on an atoll, where Sunday and Monday are the weekend days, but our week days are no less chaotic than the rest of the world. So, goodnight, sleep tight, and I hope you too experience weekend bliss!
