Just as I was planning on hunkering down for a cozy day in front of the fire, with the rain and grey day outside (like it's been EVERY day for a week), I get thrown a curve ball. It was partly sunny, and NOT rainy and it felt almost balmy outside!! It might as well have been a 75 degree day by the way people were acting. EVERYone was out, restaurants were packed, people were actually sitting outside (which to me seemed crazy, it wasn’t freezing but still…). You could feel the optimism in the air. It was awesome, and has me totally excited for spring and all thing spring attire related! So much for my hyyge day, I’m fine moving on to spring.
It was also the longest Saturday in the history of the world. I have no idea why really. Sometimes days seem to move fast, but this one was freakishly slow. Gia had been sick all week and this was her first “fairly healthy” day, but Romeo is starting to come down with the same thing, so this was his “fairly sick” day. So we stayed home almost the entire day and I did nothing but clean up work projects, cook, and google how to refinish butcher blocks (I fell short of actually undertaking the project.) I watched a movie with Romeo, made three cups of tea, whipped up some sushi rolls, watched 2 episodes of Cheer. There was endless time, I was looking for things to do. Not having John here makes the days go slow I think, but it should be the opposite since theoretically I have more to do overall?
I will say the very worst part about having John gone, is having to stay up on the weekends to monitor the teens. It's TORTURE. I am not a night owl, but John is, so we appropriately allocate duties and he stays up late to make sure curfews are met, male friends have gone home, that type of thing. Now it's all on me and I'm like a teenagers dream because I'm practically narcoleptic, so there's a good chance I'll just pass out around 10 and they could go crazy while mamma is catching zzzz's. It's real work to stay up past 9:30 p.m. for me. HATE. IT. I'll almost be excited for the week to start, then I can go back to being able to sleep. I'm also excited for next week because some super cute early spring stuff is coming in...prepare yourself!!
