Here I sit typing away on a dreaded Sunday night. I have almost always disliked Sunday nights. I remember hating them as far back as when I was a kid in elementary school, how sad is that. The thought of getting back into a routine and fulfilling tasks on my hectic schedule puts my stomach in knots. It doesn't matter how prepared I am for the upcoming week or what fun things I have planned to look forward to. Saying goodbye to the weekend just sucks.
Ever since I got back from a week and a half vacation in September (which I didn't blog about- oops) I have been taking Fridays off work. It has been awesome and I could totally get used to this schedule on a permanent basis! Its like having an 8th day in the week where I can do whatever I want.
Noah and I have an un-rushed morning before I drop him off to a short day at pre-school then it is ME TIME. It is fabulous. This usually consists of catching up the necessary household tasks and chores then hitting the streets for a run, which I strangely enjoy doing. And I normally do these things as fast as I can so I have more time to do the fun things that let me unwind and are a total bonus. Things like shopping, catching up on my dvr, going to a movie or to lunch, and something pampering like a pedicure, facial, or massage. After I have had some good ME TIME I am always ready to get back to being a good wife and mom. I am able to fill my own love tank so I have more to give to my family. Total win-win!
