Restful weekend

Do you ever have one of those days, or maybe a few, when you just can't get motivated to do much? Well that was my weekend. Friday evening Matthew was at Grandma Nancy's and Papa Joe's (actually through Monday) so I took my time in West Plains. I visited with Grandma Barr about the anniversary party for a few hours, went to the Air Evac base to visit my husband for a little while and then of course had to spend some time in Walmart. I didn't get home Friday night until after 9 p.m. and then stayed up too late putting things away, watching TV and doing laundry.

So Scott worked and didn't get off work until Saturday morning. They did two flights on Friday and one over night, so he didn't get up too early! By the time he got his errands run and made it home, it was almost 11:30 a.m. and I was just getting up. We ate some lunch together and then started watching one of our favorite shows on USA. They were having a "marathon!" So we watched a couple of hours of TV and before I knew it, he had fallen asleep. So I wasted no time in doing the same.

I woke up about 4 p.m. in a panic that we hadn't done anything on the farm all day. When I woke him up, he said it was okay, so who was I to push. At that point I got up and did some things on the computer, did some more laundry and fixed myself some supper. By 5:30 that night, Scott moved to bed and slept there until about 3 a.m.

Meanwhile, later in the night, I woke up and watched the PBR on Versus and got up and did some things. I was up for about four hours and didn't got to bed until midnight. Well, then Scott went to work Sunday morning and I again slept in until 10:30 or 11. When I finally got up, I had a pretty productive day, but didn't push myself too much. I would work until one project was finished (for example, I cleaned up our bedroom, putting away all the clothes and getting a storage box emptied from the foot of the bed!) and then I would find a show I liked and rest. Then I would move on to the next project (cleaning the top of the oven under the drip pans!) and then bull riding was coming on again....

So all in all, Sunday was productive and Saturday was productive in it's own way. I guess Scott and I both needed the rest or we wouldn't have been able to sleep that much. Probably just been going too much. It was nice to have a weekend we could be lazy and not have to feel too guilty about it! Hope everyone gets one of those weekends (or weekdays) when they need it!

Have a great week. It's AUGUST!!!! Steph
