We are learning that the kids’ schedule is opposite ours. They sleep in, like—a lot. And they aren’t impressed with the sunrise or the breakfast buffet. And I already told you how their skin did in the sun yesterday. Soooo, they went to the movie in the afternoon and Josh said they were fine but didn’t have much energy or enthusiasm about anything. It wasn’t until around 7:00pm that they “turned on.” This is the same time I’m ready to sit and watch the sun set and then get in the bed. But I followed their energy even though it meant leaving the beach sooner than I wanted after the sun set.
We ended the night with sno-cones. And the kids were high energy and crazy. This is the season we are in and there are usually growing pains as you live with five growing and changing individuals—three of which are trying to figure out who they are and what they want and how to manage emotions. Heck, I’m 44 and still working on some of the same things. But we love each other, and I am grateful for the time we have together this week. I’m just gonna let them sleep in and do their thing while I wake up at the literal crack of dawn and do my thing…and then hope for energy in the evening when they get into party mode.
It was a fabulous Monday. Now, seriously, I’m going to bed!😴
