Except on weekneds.
The weekends are actually the only time that I get to enjoy a breath of fresh air without anything or rather with lesser things to worry about and it starts from friday evening immediately the school bells rings to announce school dismissal. Infact i walked the long distance to school on friday mornings with smiles on my face knowing fully well that the weekned was finally here.
While in college, Friday was definitely when we use to travel for our weekned getaways. Sometimes I would pack everything I would be needing for the weekned to the lectures and from there head straight to the bus station.
I consider weekneds to be a blessing to mankind and for me it's a time to get away and separate yourself from all the seriousness and troubles of life. There are only few things that are allowed on weekneds they are :
Sleeping in
Family time
Fun
Weekneds are the only time that I get to sleep as much as I want without a care in the world. My alarms are all turned off on weekneds because there is no work on weekneds to rush to and definitely no school on weekneds for my kids. Sometimes we wake up around 9am and other times around 9:30 am and that my dears is a wonderful feeling.
Family time : It is during the weekned that we have enough of family bonding because everyone will be at home. Unlike other week days when I will be rushing to go to work and the children rushing to catch up with the school bus. Our family bonding starts Friday night after dinner. We will all stay up watching movie. Yesterday was awesome, we watched Berbie. We can watch as many movies that our tired eyes can take before heading to bed knowing fully well that we have the luxury of sleeping in the next day.
FUN : This I normally do Saturday evenings. We can drive to any big supermarket to get groceries and also have a little fun. These supermarkets always have some cool stuffs for the kids to play with and they will also delight in some ice-cream and pizza. When I am not out with my girls then I will be hanging out with my friends. Depending on the plan we normally visit the Cinema, a club with a live band and sometimes we can decide to visit each other.
This Saturday, it rained heavily and it was the ultimate weekned present for me. I stayed in - door watching movies, eating and gisting with my girls. We watched mighty joe young and even though I have watched that movie for the hundredth time, I didn't mind because my girls were so happy and engrossed with the movie. They tried explaining the movie to me and i pretended as if it was my first time watching it.
Though i didn't step out of my house today, it is still the perfect weekned for me because i am with the most important people in my life. My weekned will never ever be complete without my girls.
