Brain, remember that....don't wake up, sleep, sleep, sleep......no one is off to school, no one is on their way to be taken care of....no one is going to work.....SLEEP!!!!
Aaah, forget it, go ahead get up, can't sleep, it's 6:00 in the morning, everyone else is still asleep, might as well get up, make coffee, start the never ending laundry, and at least sit and watch the morning news or whatever is usually on at that time during the weekend...
Funny how the day that I can actually sleep in I just can't. Any other day of the week where I have no choice but to get up I could totally lay there and fall back to sleep......
So I get up and take it as a sign of getting a lot done early so that I have that much more time to spend with the kids and hubby or in my room reading or watching my type of movies.
Slowly the others make their way downstairs. Eventually the boys ask to get cereal (yes, I don't have to make a big weekend breakfast!!! Well at least not today). Daddy comes down with a big smile "5 pounds down...". "Wow! That's great!!". Huh, now I can totally relate with that commercial, here we go, the husband starts to lose weight and here I am the wife still staying the same.............................SUCKS!!! TOTALLY SUCKS!!! But being the wife, mother, and person that I am I will be happy for him that he lost 5 pounds in the first week even after having ice cream (which I didn't).
Huh, that's it, I guess I just have to run everywhere I go.............
Yeah, right like that's going to happen!!! It's okay, I'll get there. Mom Jr. is doing a time line of her life at the ripe age of 10. We are going through pictures and she see's pictures of me before I had kids even pictures of me when she was in pre-school. "Wow, Mom look how skinny you were!?!" "Yes, I know, and I'm trying".
Now that Mom Jr. is noticing the difference in my weight I really need to do something...I'm trying, maybe not hard enough, maybe I just need to stay up in the morning after my husband leaves for work and do my workout then........
I don't I'll figure it out!!!
I got my shopping done for the labor day weekend, Mom Jr. and D went with me. We shopped for food items to eat during our 3 day weekend, and then stopped at the movie store. They each chose a movie and then we left.
Daddy worked in the backyard, J brought out his lawn mower and mowed the yard after Daddy finished. Mom Jr. and I prepared the shish kabobs and corn to grill and then Daddy played catch with a football with all of them.
It was great, lots of smiles, laughs, and just let any worries we all felt fall on the side.
This weekend is suppose to be the last weekend of summer although it's suppose to heat up again next week. Either way we, as a family plan to enjoy what might actually be Daddy's last holiday from work until it closes to the fullest!!
Our hearts our deep with worry but we are choosing not to let that stop us from enjoying the here ad now.
As a family we are enjoying what we have, what we are experiencing together and making the best of it all!!!
Just a Mom completely enjoying her family for exactly what it is......full of life, love, and laughter!!! Praying every other family has the same...........
