It's Friday - and Friday before I leave for a whole week off from work so today, we're blogging in colour!!!
OK, so here's my problem - well maybe not problem, but here's my thing for today. I will not wake to the sounds of a blaring alarm next to me head for the next 9 mornings in a row, I will not drag my ass out of bed, into the shower and then squeeze into my "work" clothes and I will not walk the 8 minute walk to the bus and wait and curse as the cars fly by with no site of my bus anywhere. I will not do any of these things and I'm afraid that without this routine I'm going to be bored!
That's right, I said it, BORED!!
Now, before you roll your eyes and start yelling obscenities at me for rubbing in the fact that I'm on vacation all next week I must explain. I haven't had a week to myself where I didn't have to do favours for someone, have specific tasks to complete or people to take care of in I really can't remember how long and I don't know what to do with myself. I'm hoping to convince myself to go for a jog at least 5 of those days and I want to get a pedicure and of course we will do some sort of fun, family-type day trips to places within Ontario but that's only going to fill so much time!
When I was on Mat leave, I got really good at finding ways to fill the days. Going for really long walks, playing for hours at the park (in the early days, playing meant me sitting in the park reading while Bum-bum slept peacefully in his stroller!) Those days I'm afraid are over for now and I don't know if I want to get back into that mode. At least not yet, and not only for 1 week! Baby number two probably isn't that far off so I'll have plenty of time to relive those glory days.
So, I need help. I need ideas for ways to keep myself busy next week that doesn't include me cleaning my house, doing laundry, grocery shopping or anything that's really, really domestic. Fire away friends cause I'm open to just about anything. In fact, I'm even considering one of these options....
