What is your favourite way to spend the weekend?
(I love spelling favourite like our hostess!)
Everyone in my family will tell you that my favorite weekend activity is SLEEP. During the school year, I get about 6 hours of sleep a night Sunday through Thursday, oftentimes less. I'm a night owl, so going to bed early is not easy for me. I'd rather stay up late and sleep in, which is impossible when you have to be at work at 8:15 AM. So, I make up for it on the weekends.
The experts tell us that you should try to keep the same sleep schedule every day, but I say, "Why?" as long as I get back on my regular schedule Monday. The experts also say that too much sleep is just as damaging as too little sleep. Too much is 9 or 10 hours. If you use the law of averages, I get about 7 1/2 hours per night. And according to research by the National Sleep Foundation, an exact amount of sleep cannot be pinpointed, just a range of hours, and I think I'm within my range.
Perhaps I should have been a cat. They sleep 12-16 hours a day! So, my favorite weekend activity is a little boring, but it's not the only thing I enjoy. A good weekend also includes reading, eating out, spending time with my husband, maybe church on Sunday, if I'm not sleeping (I know, I know!), and the best weekend includes avoiding the grocery store. Grocery shopping is my least favorite chore ever.
This past weekend did not include a lot of sleep due to our daughter's wedding. It was absolutely beautiful! Here's the proof!
So, even though this past weekend did not include extra sleep, it was so worth it!

I think I would do a lot more sleeping in on the weekends, if there were not 3 rugrats running about the house - ha. Even if I am trying to catch up on my night owl hours because hubby is not working, he will find a hundred different reasons to come into the bedroom while I am trying to sleep. ugh.
ReplyDeleteThe wedding picture is gorgeous!! How lovely that everything went well.
Congratulations to the happy couple.
I so wish I could sleep in at the weekend by my body clock is too used to waking up early during the week. Definitely come back as a cat as they have the best lives.
ReplyDeleteYour daughter's wedding looks beautiful - you must be very proud.
