What is it about weekends that makes you feel like you must accomplish something?! God should have called for two days of rest, since Sunday morning consists of rushing around to eat, shower, dress 4 kids, get myself dressed and pretty, and out the door in time to get to church. THEN, by the time you're out of church you need to drive home, get clothes changed for all 6 of us, get lunch rolling while somehow nursing the baby and breaking up fights over whose stuff is whose, and then eating. Next thing you know we are remembering we need clean clothes for the new week and wondering what's for dinner!
Anyway, since that is our "day of rest", I figure Saturday is "sleep in, eat at restaurants, no dishes and nap time" kind of day! My hubby however sees it as "get yard work, garage organizing, sorting and chores done" kind of day.
I get it, I do, we need to get these things done, and Sunday has about one hour of actual rest, but honestly, when DO moms get a break!?! The answer my dears, is 2031! When my baby boy is 18 I will be 51 years old! No way am I waiting that long! Lol so we figure out how to make chores fun family time, my hubby lets me sleep in Saturday and I give him Sunday, and after the weeds are pulled, the laundry dome and the kids all fed...we hae an amazing moment to share with our kids...the ice cream man came down the street!
They got to run out and pay a man to hand them ice cream, right in front of their house...what a wonderful world!
