Logging onto our email account today, I stumbled across a yahoo story. I never considered my weekend as a full time job! This article stated that research shows that the most successful Americans in the work force are those that plan their weekends around relaxation and unwasted time. One way I never looked at it is that starting at 6pm on Friday night until 6am Monday morning there's 36 hours, which is considered a full time job!
Nicholas and I sat down and talked about how many of those hours are wasted in front of the tv, computer or just down time! And after we looked at it that way, you wouldnt believe all the things we got done, and it wasnt even all hard work!
First we sat down and made a list of 300 things we want to do on a weekend. Some were things that cost money and others were very budget friendly. Some allowed us to relax, others allowed us to give, and others helped us accomplish stuff around the house!
After our list, here's what we accomplished today....
*BMV for new tags and a new license (7 months after we bought our house)
*delivered some 31 stuff to my customers
*groceries
*garage cleaned while the girls played in the sand table
*dishes done
*bathroom sink, toilet and shower cleaned
*floors swept
*delivered a baby/toddler slide to someone
*made party mix TOGETHER
*spent one on one with each child before bed
*Ashalyn and I cleaned her room together
*girls played playdough while we cleaned
*made clothing list (this is a blog post in the making)
Can't wait to start our list of want to do's so we can enjoy our weekends and become refreshed for the work week. Just having the list makes me feel so much better about everything we're doing and gives us a second or two to breathe and chill! Can't wait to see how this transforms our lives and how it improves our weekly attitude!
