Monday...time to get back to the weekly grind and routines. I don't mind though because my family and I had a "reset" weekend. What is a reset weekend? Well it's two days with a full schedule of absolutely nothing! No plans, no commitments, no lists to complete; two days to hit your reset button. In order to hit your reset button you have to be willing to relax and let your everyday chores in life wait until Monday. There's laundry that needs to be done...it can wait. There's cleaning to be done...it can wait. Believe me it's not going anywhere. Between my husband's job, raising four kids at home, two boys that play baseball, and everything else our busy family juggles, we need a reset weekend sometimes.
Our weekend was filled with watching movies, playing video games and a relaxing day at the beach with friends. We had no agenda, no time table. Some may say we wasted our weekend, that we were lazy. Well I say it's ok to welcome the lazies sometimes. Stay in your pj's all day. Let your kids veer off their schedule and watch too much tv! Monday will faithfully be waiting for you to enforce bed time and monitor tv intake. I've learned that it's weekends like this that I have the most fun with my husband and kids. In a world where there are constant demands of work, school, and daily life, we all need a "reset" weekend every once in awhile!
