Sundays are usually super busy and hectic — church, track meet, Costco shopping, Safeway shopping, laundry, organizing lunches for the week. You have those days too, right?
Today was different though.
I wake up every weekday at 4:45am — well, the alarm goes off at 4:45am as I hit snooze for a million gazillion times before actually getting out of bed…that’s just how I function — and do my thing until I’m ready to collapse at the end of the day. So when Sundays come along, especially lately, it’s been harder for me to want to get up, get dressed, and commute to church. So hubby agreed to start going to church on Saturday nights. I just LONG for days where I don’t have back to back commitments.
Today was that day.
I woke up to a cozy, slightly foggy morning that reminded me that the Fall season (my favorite) is just around the corner. The house and laundry were already in tip-top shape so we could ease into the morning. I was looking forward to meeting Ana, a friend of mine, who was my partner-in-crime when our boys were younger. It seemed like we did everything on weekends together (we were both single moms at the time). We all went to church together, movies, grocery shopping, Target shopping, restaurants — you get the idea. Great times, I miss those days a lot.
Life for both of us has changed and we hadn’t seen each other for a while so I was eager to catch up with her. We met at the church I send the boys to for Sunday lessons and she and I chatted in the cafe. When the boys were done, we went to lunch, parted ways, then Alex and I went to the market together to do the shopping for the week.
Came home, relaxed with hubby, and now we’re just sitting on the couch watching a movie together. (He’s also giving me an awesome foot rub right now!) It’s so gray and cozy outside, I’m tempted to ask him to build a fire 🙂 Dinner will be easy, I’ve got a spiral ham waiting to be thrown into the oven and hubby and I will do the sides together.
This, my friends, is a perfect Sunday.
