My Day Off

Long time readers will remember or not, that Saturday is my day off. Jeff works hard all week at his job and I work hard at mine. Saturday is my day off from taking care of Lily, cooking, cleaning, driving people around. I do what I want, no responsibility to the family. Sunday is Jeff's day off, on that day he can watch football or go hiking, do whatever he wants with no guilt. We started this when Lily was very small. She was such a difficult little one.

Today, I woke up around 9AM. The entire family was gone. I didn't get to say good morning. I am lost. I have the hardest time disconnecting and finding my bliss on my day off. Instead of enjoying my day off I usually end up feeling left out and lonely. What a dork I am. What would you do if you had a day off from the family all to yourself.

Wait for them to come home, I guess. I never functioned well without my husband and children around. Enjoy your day!

I would do the things that I love to do that my family does not like to do at all. I would go to the movie theater and watch a movie (if it's a chick-flick that's even better). Then I would go for a long walk outside around my neighborhood and talk to any neighbor I happen to see that appears friendly and interested in talking. Then I would come inside and take a long hot (i.e. scalding) bubble bath, while reading a great book. Then I would order a pizza just the way I like it and eat it while watching marathon runs of HGTV's House Hunters.

Now you've got me wanting a day to myself.

I think I would go and hang out with Lorelei if she was my neighbor!

I'd go shopping (even if I didn't buy anything, it would be fun to walk around the stores just looking. Or maybe I'd read a book.
