TGFS

We have all heard of TGIF. Well, I used to thank God for Sunday. Growing up Sundays used to mean going to church and then relaxing while watching my mom cook. Then I became a teenager and Sundays meant going to church followed by hanging out with my friends. College changed my Sunday routine. College Sunday usually involved sleeping late and helping my friends recover from Saturday night. (They drank. I didn't) after graduation I realized that I wanted to make some very important life changes. I gave my life to Christ and Sundays went back to church and friends. I got married and moved away from my friends, but Sundays were still the best days. I went to church and then chilled out with Husband.

Things are different now. I still go to church, but my chill vibe has been severely compromised and I struggled to find new balance. Sundays have now become the day when I try to fix all the things that did not get done from the week before and try to prepare for this weeks coming onslaught of crazy. It is draining to say the least. The are still some good things about Sunday. For example, it is the only day of the week I can rely on Husband to help get the kids up and ready. Somehow, on every other day of the week, regardless of if we are both working, that is considered my responsibility. I don't know how that came to the case, but those rules don't apply to Sunday. The second best thing is that one of my favorite shows, Once upon a time, is back on. I DVR it and after the kids are asleep and the last load is in the dryer, Husband and I watch it. He thinks to much to really enjoy it, but he makes really fun observations. He makes it funny and I always need a dose of humor.

It is Monday now and LoLo woke up with a cold and I am behind in some of my paperwork and all I can think is TGFS because I am just relaxed enough not to be dangerous.
