Here's what my responsibility free weekend would look like. . . . I would:
- Do two long runs, catch up on my training plan, & maybe hit a yoga or pilates class at the gym
- Get a massage
- Get a pedicure
- Do a little window shopping, especially for things like shoes, that my kids cannot stand looking at
- Catch up on my freezer meals & get a bunch of meals stashed away
- Bake muffins & breads for the freezer
- Try my hand at homemade tortillas. I've been dying to try a recipe, but never have time.
- Finish my taxes! I know - it's not very fun, but it's really hard to get this done with the kids at home.
- Take a bath. Maybe multiple baths.
- Read my book.
- Watch romantic comedies
- Sit in a coffee shop & people watch for an hour, while sipping my latte
- Meet a girl friend for dinner/drinks.
Of course, that's nothing like what my weekend will actually look like, but a girl's got to dream. :-) Here's what's really on the list for the weekend.
- One long run, assuming my lungs are recovered from my cold
- Maybe getting the time to add 1-2 freezer meals to our stash
- Taking the kids to soccer practice
- Taking the kids skiing on Sunday
- Various meal preparations
- Laundry
- Homework assistance
- House cleaning
Happy Friday! And, I finally figured out how to turn off the comment validation (you having to enter those crazy word phrases when you want to comment), so I hope that makes things easier!
I would just relax!
ReplyDeleteOh, how I LOVE this post! I'm finding myself in a position to do as I wish this weekend (my hubby and youngest son are away) and I need to take FULL advantage of it! I think I'll start with a bath, use the "good" bath salts and lotions, and get on some compfy sweats. Then head to the craft room and watch a movie and do some scrapbooking. What else should I do? Maybe give myself a pedicure, plan my menu for next week and maybe make/freeze a casserole. Exercise. Not sure! Thanks for the reminder that we need to take advantage of these weekends when we have them!
ReplyDeleteOh this will sounds bad but I generally do have my weekends to myself and lots of times find myself bored! I do my long runs on Saturday and then have coffee with friends after. Sunday morning I go to church but other than that the days are generally free. Soon I will have a budget that will allow for a little more fun. :) Hope you have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteI did have a responsibility free weekend last weekend, and it is amazing how sidetracked you can still get!
