After weeks of running around, painting, mowing the lawn (having the mower break 3 times in the process), decorating, unpacking boxes, and every other chore you can imagine- Matt and I are taking a break! Tonight, we're both going on strike! No house work allowed. No errands to run. We've got every intention of doing absolutely nothing!
It's crazy how quickly time goes by when you're busy. Forget the saying, "Time flies when you're having fun!" It goes even faster when you're busy! Maybe the saying should be "Time flies when you're keeping busy!" Which leads me to another popular saying "Why did the chicken cross the road?" I think I have the answer.
"The chicken crossed the road to go to Lowe's to buy paint and painting supplies, to go to IKEA to get cheap things that it needed, to fix the mower, to drop off dry cleaning, to run to Target for that thing it forgot yesterday, to run to Target again for that thing that it forgot just now, to run to Target again for that second thing that wasn't the right thing in the first place, to run to get take-out for dinner, to go to Pier 1 to use a coupon that doesn't make a bit of difference because at the end of the day expensive is still expensive, to run to Target again to get the stupid trash bags it forgot on the third trip." Then, the chicken got home and swears it was hit by a truck when it crossed the road.
So, I think you get the point. Tonight is for resting! Enjoy your weekend everyone!
Life can get so busy I am glad you are setting time aside to do nothing together.
ReplyDeleteThe seasons of marriage that were the most stressful for us were the ones in which we have not made time to relax together. Enjoy - have a great weekend.
