So I have decided that weekends are for relaxing. PERIOD! The last few weekends have been so nice and relaxing. I was thinking about it and I realized that it is because I did NOTHING but relax and enjoy myself and families. Weekdays should be for working and the weekends should be for not working. So this week I am going to assign myself a chore a night so I don't have to feel so guilty about doing nothing on the weekends :) Today was a great day! I spent the afternoon laying in the sun (covered in SPF 50 cuz I am scared of cancer...) with my feet in the kiddie pool. It was awesome! I made a delicious couscous salad with feta cheese and cucumber. I just by the boxed flavored couscous (Mediterranean Couscous from Fresh and Easy) and throw it in the rice cooker and its done in 15 minutes! Let it chill, add some cucumber and feta and what ever else you like. YUMMY! I had it for lunch and dinner! My sister and I walked a 5K like I said we would! The weather was great but the kiddos were being lazy and complaining a good deal of the time. That was a bummer but my other sister came to the rescue and picked them up right before the final uphill climb! Thank god! Our walking challenge is on! 3 miles down, 7 to go!
Although I don't like to do chores on the weekend, only real chore I do do is on Sunday. I like to prep for the week. When my son is in school I get his snack and lunch stuff all bagged up and into a plastic bin so in the morning I can grab and go. I like to do bentos for his lunch so I prep as much as I can. For example, he likes make-your-own-pizza so I portion out the pepperoni, cheese, and sauce so I can grab what I need and pack his bento in 2 minutes flat. It makes me feel good sending him to school with something I made for him instead of all that processed crap. I also like to prep my food like cubes of cheese, portioned out snacks, etc. My youngest son is a grazer and loves to get into the cabinet so I started portioning out everything into snack size bags so he can grab something small and eat it. This way I don't end up with a bag of pretzels on the ground! On Sunday night I also like to pick up the house and put away laundry. I hate starting a new week with last weeks mess. I have a stack of laundry to put away in my room so I will put on Khole and Kourtney take Miami and get it down once the kids are asleep! I have a late night tonight because I have to wait for my hubby to get home to watch True Blood. Its on the DVR right now and I feel like a kid sitting in their room on Christmas morning waiting to go out and see the presents! I hope you all had a great weekend!
