Sunday Slugs!

So, as I've shared with you before dear stalkers, hubby works night shift over a 6 day week, making Sunday our only full day together as a family.

I spend all week hanging for our special day. I think of it as a special day because one day out of six makes it seem such a rare event, that I really want that precious time together to be special.

Unfortunately though, a combination of things have made Sundays, for the majority, sluggy days. We sleep lots! Which of course we do, it's hubby's first day off night shift and he's buggered, I'm buggered from a weeks worth of solo parenting during his work hours, so we tend to spend a lot of the morning tag teaming snoozing and parenting our energetic tot.

When we do drag our lazy butt's outa bed, it's more of just a relocation to the lounge room. Muma tries to do as little as possible, Daddy tries to get away with falling back asleep in the chair, buba plays with his cars, only braking for booby every now and then.

This day SHOULD be enough for me. We're in each others company. We're resting and recharging for the new week to come.

But, we never DO anything! I wanna DO something! ANYTHING! I wanna leave the house! The only leaving of the house on Sunday is when hubby drives down to the shops for take-away for dinner. Again, I should be grateful, nice brake from the cooked dinners during the week.

I know my husband is tired from his weeks work. I'm tired from my week of parenting too you know! I REALLY want more outta our Sundays. I want our time together to be quality time!

Prior to being parents, we DID things on our weekends, a lot of them kid friendly when I think about it. We went for drives and picnicked where ever we ended up. We went for walks. We went mini-golfing, ten pin bowling, saw movies, saw friends, checked out markets, swam at the beach, window shopped.

Not everything cost money back then, not everything needs to cost money now, just time, good quality time with my little family.
