So today was my first truly free Friday since Adam has started going to nursery 3 days a week. The other Fridays I have had to catch up on work or go out or do some other thing rather than just relaxing, which is the point of him going 3 days a week now. So I can have a day to rest.
So what did I do?
Simon gets up with Adam on Fridays anyway, so I slept until 730.
Then I got Adam and Simon out the door at about 815.
Then I put a load of wash on and set the burnt out pot to boil with some vinegar. Still isn’t completely unburnt. 🙁
Then I had breakfast and an entire cup of hot coffee (only mothers and fathers of small children will appreciate how wonderful that is).
Then I played my game for a bit. It’s a video game.
Then I went back to bed. And read. And read some more. And then I slept until 11. And then I read some more.
And then I had a bath. And read some more.
Then I got out of the bath and had crack, aka Stove Top Stuffing, for lunch followed by the rest of a pint of Ben and Jerry’s Phish Food. Yes, really.
And now I am writing this blog post.
I still have an hour and about 45 minutes until I have to leave to get Adam.
I think I’ll go have a nap.
I don’t know what it is about Stove Top stuffing, but you’re right, it is weirdly addictive! And I hear ya, I fantasize about getting to finish an entire meal without getting up from the table or reheating it at least twice…..
Oh I so hear you on the HOT cup of coffee! My DH is headed out for almost ten days next week, and I am not looking forward to being the single parent. But that said, li’l one is heading off to preschool for 3 hours from a coupel weeks… 3 whole hours to myself… wow, what am I ever going to do??
The luxury of time to yourself, every minute counts! 🙂
OK, that’s it: next time I have no deadlines I’m going to make a point of having a daytime nap. And ice cream. Not sure about the Stove Top though (where do you even get that over here?)
