Another Weekend Alone
My husband left this morning for his annual carp shooting (bow fishing) trip with his friend. They’ll be in Winneconne until Sunday night. And (this should come as no surprise) Dawson is spending another weekend at Grandma’s house. My mother called yesterday to solidify the plan. I’m going to have another weekend by myself. I don’t think I like it.
While I’m happy that Doug is using some vacation time to do what he loves, and I feel very lucky that Dawson has grandparents who love him and want to spend as much time as they can with him, I’m bummed that I really have nothing to do all weekend.
I could clean the house, but I’m sick of cleaning. I’m the only one who’s doing it these past few weeks and I’m really tired of picking up after those boys. Doug leaves socks in the strangest places. Dawson managed to keep his room clean, only because I’ve been nagging him, but he has a few toys on the living room foor. And that dog! He keeps leavng his nylon bone and chew toys on the kitchen floor. One of these days I’m going to slip and kill myself.
I could finally read all those books stacked on my side table. I could walk the dog. I could go to the gym. I could take a nap. I could watch T.V. (and have full control of the remote).
I could do anything I want, but honestly, I really don’t want to be alone.
I never, ever thought I would say that. Six months ago I was begging for time to myself. Now I’ve got it and I don’t want it. Talk about ironic…
What would you do with a weekend to yourself?

If I had a weekend to myself I would spend it sleeping, watching girly movies which my husband refuses to watch w/ me, and probably more sleeping!!!!! I’d also mix in a little shopping! Hope you have a good weekend anyways!

Well I would get lots reading, sleeping and eating done. I would probably love day 1 but then I would miss everyone. I am not too good with my own company. Have a good weekend.
