Sunday Afternoons

There is something so relaxing about Sunday afternoons. I think it's programmed into us from the time we're little. Sunday morning's should be spent at the KH, get some lunch, and then depending on your age and mood- you should engage in some form of activity that is relaxing. When I was a teenager, it was a sin to be still, so we had to still go somewhere and do something- but it was usually more relaxing than the regular rigamarole that we did for the rest of the week. After I got married and both me and Michael worked full-time, we usually spent Sundays with our friends, going to movies or just chillin and hanging out. After we had children, Sunday afternoons have been spent taking naps and playing with the kids. After everybody gets up- we usually go somewhere or have a family over for supper.

For me, Sunday is not so much about taking a nap, but rather about the time I get to myself when everyone else IS taking a nap. Because Michael has been working 2nd shift for a couple of mths now- I don't have 5 seconds to myself because the kids are home from school and they don't all nap. But on Sundays- the kids are quiet for a couple of continuous moments.

I started this post on a lazy Sunday afternoon- but then everybody got up and my peace was over. So now, 2 wks later- I'm finishing it up and posting it. Hope you enjoy my thoughts on our family day. Happy "whatever-day-is-your-favorite" day to you.
