Today I am taking a big deep breath.  Last night I successfully hosted a Relief Society b'day dinner for about 40 women…we were celebrating the 168th year of our church's women's organization.  Dinner, get-to-know you games and a program.

I still have a garage full of trek lost and found and am fielding e-mails, calls, receipts, etc. from trek.  The post-trek business has been busier than I had anticipated.

I feel like today is the first deep breath that I've been able to take in weeks.  And my house looks like a hurricane blew through…papers, mails, a disastrous kitchen, and tons of laundry. 

And although trek stuff will continue, it will be lighter.  And my Relief Society calling needs my attention and time, but I feel like it is manageable. 

I'm excited to start working on some house projects, cleaning and organizing, and planning summer adventures.  Excited to focus on my kids and husband.  I need to potty train Samuel and train Maggie too (behavioral!). 

This last few months has been an intense time of service and growth.  I have loved diving head-first into big projects that felt worthwhile and life-changing.  I have had rich experiences and it has brought me tremendous joy.  But it's time to go back to my real job as mother and wife.

And I will do just that – right after my nap. πŸ™‚

    Might I say, a nap that is WELL deserved!
