🤞I’m hoping to get one in May when DH takes the kids to his hometown.
These are magical. DH takes the kids camping or to visit his mom a couple times a year. I purge the house, read a book, order my favorite takeout, and enjoy the quiet. Sometimes I have girlfriends for dinner. It’s lovely.

I love them. But I run into the same issue each time - do I do all the things or do I do nothing? I usually do a mix but I need to plan a little better so I’m not feeling like it’s wasted.
Waking up in the morning and nothing is wrong, you have nowhere you have to be, the house is clean, the birds are singing, the sun is shining, and everyone is happy and healthy.
Happiness is when I can sleep in until I want. No one talking to me or saying I need to get up or snoring in my ear. I'm tempted to schedule both DD and the dog a sleepover during DH's paintball weekend in May so I can do this
Happiness is seeing DD rock it last night at gymnastics
Sleeping in until I naturally get up to a sunny warm day. Hanging out with my family and the kids are having a good time. Enjoying the sunshine with a hike and picnic in the park.

I have this problem every time I have a day off work while the kids are in school. I usually end up doing chores and to do list until about 2-3pm and then taking some time for myself before I pick them up around 4-5pm, and maybe because it is 1 day it is harder. But I feel like I should make plans with friends or something, but I just don't have the energy for that.
I hate basketball practice before the game sitting on those cold metal benches and DD being a brat. So yesterday we walked the elevated track above the court and it was so nice. It was DD's first time up there and she was so excited.
I also hate how the jackets go everywhere on the bleachers and saw that one mom had hung theirs outside the gym, so I am going to steal that.
Happiness is walking the track with DD. Happiness is more light in the evening.
Unhappiness is less light in the morning. Can you tell we are struggling with DST here?
Watching my kids all coloring together and DD2 runs out wearing a duck hat that she made while carrying DD3's picture that she scribbled to show me what they've been doing.
Snuggling on the couch and reading books before bed.
Silence after all the kids are tucked in and asleep in their beds.
Going for a walk outside with the sun shining down on me.
