Weekends are so full of promise for me.
I imagine myself staying up late Friday, having lazy drinks and laughs with my husband. I slowly open my eyes on Saturday around 9 am, lay in bed for another 30 minutes, gather the boys for an unhurried w-a-l-k in the cozy warm sunlight. My husband and I explore the city. It's always the golden hour, in my mind.
Realities are sometimes different. I crash early on Friday because full time job. I wake up too early on Saturday, while Noel sleeps in too late. We don't have any plans because we don't know of anything to do, so we sit around. We do our own things, or we do the same things we always do together. The weekend flies, and then it's Monday again.
I'm determined to have a different weekend this weekend. Part of that means fewer expectations. Part of it means intentional plans.
Only thing I know for sure is my husband will be home around 7:30 this evening. I'll be halfway through a much-deserved bottle of Prosecco. Tomorrow, we'll drive to Buda for the wiener dog races. Aside from these things, if we sleep, we sleep. If we laze, we laze. The weekend is a state of mind, not an itinerary, so here's to an epic mind metamorphosis in t-minus 5.5 hours.
