Weekends are for lounging. The family is around so no cleaning can be done. We use our weekends to go to Dance competitions 3-5 hours away! urgh. I want to sleep in and lounge one of these days. Sewing would be fun, too. Oh well.

The artwork G did seems to show a boat with a captain full of resolve. Are those storm clouds on the way out? Land Ho! A joyous sound for any sailor, right?

I just want you to know, Missy, that I have read this post not once, not twice, but THREE times. So, I may not be the most faithful commenter, but I AM READING.

I could have written this post. {not as elegantly} but you captured exactly what I was thinking this weekend. I had big dreams on Friday of getting so much done. I did have resolve, really… but come Sunday, scrambling to church, and then getting back home, my list was still untouched. Oh well. We played a lot of board games like candyland, operation, memory and read tons of books. I think that is more important than a clean house There is always today and tomorrow

Oh, I think playing is far more important! Houses can wait and will always need cleaning. Children will not always be children. ~W

amen, sistah!! it’s funny, i find i am the most productive in the mornings, before work. i set my alarm for 5:30, hit snooze until 6:15, and then make myself nearly late washing dishes and doing laundry from the night before. but then on the days i actually manage to get up at 5:30, i simply get on the internet, and nearly make myself late THAT way. never a happy medium. on my perpetual to-do list is: laundry (duh), and my backyard, before i have missed another spring without flowers.
you’d think i’d realize that if i got up that much earlier on the week days, i could not feel guilty ALL WEEKEND LONG about having a messy house, and wanting to play instead of work.

i think you have inspired me to get up at 5:30 tomorrow and the rest of the week and see what comes of it. i’ll let you know how it goes.

ramble ramble. cute collage!

Thanks for stopping by and sharing the joy of having a boy! I love this post. I love that feeling. The feeling of freedom ahead and the wonderful plans to accomplish betterness. Whether it be a clean bedroom, an organized drawer, a hung painting or a new sewn bag. I just love that feeling of knowing something good is going to happen. On Monday morning I get that feeling. I’m so excited to see how my week will unfold. Will I screw it up? Will I screw it up and then mend it? I hope I do good this week. Let’s not expect toooo much of ourselves, let just expect to have made life a little better each day.

Monday morning is the day I always plan to “start” something. As in, “On Monday, I’ll go back to the gym.” Or “On Monday, I’ll tackle the laundry.” Ha! What’s the adage? Every day, in every way, I’m getting better? Or something like that, eh? ~W

I need a sewing machine, don’t I.

Your weekend cycle seems just fine to me. Don’t be too hard on yourself.

Oh, I don’t spend any time worrying about it. But it is interesting to notice my habit. And yes, yes you do need a sewing machine. ~W

This post, combined with Sunday’s sermon, is a nice reflection of the sort of resolve, lapse, resolve cycle that lots of us go through, pretty much constantly. Right now, I’m working on getting the cat to lose weight. (snort)
I like the finished collage. I like oil pastels, too- that photo makes me want to “do art.”

Ok, laughing so darn hard at the cat losing weight post. That poor cat! I shouldn’t laugh at his misery, but I can so relate! ~W

OH dear…we would get along famously…and never get anything done if we lived closer to each other. OR…we would totally do things at each other’s house…LOL!! It depends on the weekend what I get done, sometimes it’s so much…I can hardly believe it…other times…well? Not so much!

Ah, but we’d be so happy we wouldn’t care or notice! ~W
