Definitely all in for a BOBW retreat! And would be happy to help organize one, if you wanted some reader pitch-in on logistics.

Otherwise it’s demands for French toast, tv, video games, for an hour or two befor my husband even wakes up to share parenting. But it’s nice to lay in bed and do nothing; I don’t get a lot of quiet time and I need a lot of it. I should read a book on my phone or something, but I just started reading How To Do Nothing, which pushes back in this idea if always optimizing and increasing productivity,

I am glad to hear that! We are spending a few days in Philadelphia over April vacation, and that is my daughter’s top priority.

Very good point that we can get stuff done at those times if wanted. On the weekends sometimes I now feel like I am hanging around all morning waiting for my kids to wake up, so we can do a family activity. I could actually be doing something for myself between 8 and 10 a.m.

Fortunately, a chance for a retreat came up for me and my friend. She would come tomorrow and stay over, and leave on Sunday evening. We will be staying at my house itself. Having a teenager and no small kids makes it possible. The intention is long walks, and bird watching. We have many exotic birds where I live. So hoping it will be as nice as you and Sarah had. 😃

I do sometimes like to sleep in those mornings since I get up so early the rest of the week (sleeping in means getting up with the kids at 7ish). But i can see the value of getting some quiet me time on weekend mornings as well.

The fact that you listened to retreats twice … well maybe we should try hosting one!
