Lazy Sundays

 

Some times Sundays are the tiny vacation we all need. After all the moving and cleaning, packing and unpacking day after day we needed a break.
We spent Valentines Day cleaning out the old house and getting it ready to be shown and followed that up with a yummy Roasted Chicken dinner and Tequila shots. As I'm sure you can imagine we had high hopes of putting away the last few pieces of the old house today, however, that doesn't appear to be the case. I'm okay with that. We worked very hard to get here and we have busted our butts making this place look like our home and not the 70's nightmare of wood paneling and textured wallpaper. (I mean we are talking rose colored, matted, shag carpet.) We deserve to sit on our butts and give it a rest.

I feel like there is something cathartic about doing nothing. As Americans we live by our schedules, our phones, our timed coffee makers and constant reminders about this bill and that event and this chore. We all need at least one day we can throw on our giant fuzzy sweaters, grab your warm blanket and have a snuggle. This gives me inspiration. Why not have a vacation day?

Perhaps paint my nails, have a dance party with my daughter, make a fun dinner, something elaborate and yummy. Sadly, it is far too cold to go out today and my husband and I are supposed to go out for dinner but we will see if we get that far today. No worries we have tomorrow night too. Oh we could do a dinner and a movie and maybe introduce a movie from when my husband and I were kids to our little one. Ugh wait, that means I have to clean the kitchen and I really don't think that is going to happen. (I didn't do the dishes for one day and it looks like I hosted a mess hall dinner.) So I guess I will have to wait for my husband to get it together. Ah yes, all the pressing matters of the day. To paint my toenails or to make dinner?

These are wonderful days and ones that I am thankful for. The cold wind is blowing outside making the fine snow blow up and down the road. We are curled up nice and warm on the couch. I have my coffee and my laptop while my daughter dances around the living room to a song, I assume, only she can hear. This is bliss and days like today can really put in connection with your own family and give a real feeling of stability, you feel grounded and it is a wonderful feeling.

Feel free to let us know how you like to spend your Sundays but commenting and sharing away. Thank you for reading as always!
