It is super-greedy, but even when I have a nice long weekend, I always want more. Such was the case of this weekend.
I left for Vail with the girlfriends on Friday afternoon. We had a nice evening on Friday with much wine and conversation. Saturday we slept in, had breakfast and then rented bikes! We rode all over Vail, checking out houses and other sights. After a light lunch and some naps and general chilling, we went to dinner at Sweet Basil (one of our all-time favorites), where we netted an excellent off-season deal. We got to walk around town afterward and then of course there was more wine and conversation. Everyone enjoyed the break of being away from husbands and kids and (though I did not plan it this way) it was extra nice because when we went home on Sunday morning, we had the better part of two days of weekend still left.
I was very glad to see my little family when I got back. Matt and the kids had kept very busy with this and that and the house wasn’t even too wrecked. We rested and made a trip to Costco and then had a little Memorial Day BBQ on the patio with my parents, sister and GiGi.
Monday was my lost day. Matt went over to our friends’ house to work on their basement and I was at home with the kiddos. We did a whole lot of nothing … breakfast, breakfast cleanup, playtime, playtime cleanup, lunch time, lunchtime cleanup, naps. I even took a nap. When Matt got home, we ran some errands and then magically, it was time for dinner, followed by bedtime.
The house isn’t terrible, but it sure isn’t CLEAN. The menu for this week consists of whatever’s in the fridge. I haven’t exercised in three days. But I’m very very rested and that counts for quite a bit.
Glad you had a fun weekend, it sounds like a great break, and are feeling rested. Though I wish I could say the same. heh
Glad it was fun for everyone.
