Who are we kidding? The weekend is a wash. You might get to sleep in one of the days. But, if you’re anything like me, you wake up on a Saturday mornings not at all relaxed, but instead full of dread and anxiety, thinking all the things you need to accomplish within the next 48 hours.
Grocery shopping
Haircuts
Shave your legs
Wash the floors
Plant a garden
Watch your kids’ games
Preserve your kids eye sight from screen time overload
Do something educational
Do something nature-y
Plan dinner for the 21,000th time
And the list goes on.
Did I inadvertently leave “time for myself” off the list? No, it wasn’t accidental, it’s because it doesn’t exist.
Don’t get me wrong, I still count down to the weekends like a kid in the 90s on the way to Blockbuster and Domino’s Pizza on a Friday night. Back in the day, it was a glorious escape filled with adventure and shenanigans with friends. Now it feels more like a frantic marathon towards, with coffee to get me to the finish line.
My vote is for kids to go back to school on Mondays. But the weekend for us parents and adults could surely use an extra day.
Coffee - then adulting.
