Just another stagnant Sunday

I enjoy Sunday.  Sunday my husband doesn't work.  Sunday, we lay around like the people of leisure we would like to become.  Sunday is marathons of Snapped, House Hunters and Law and Order.  When our programs are on during the regular programming season, we will take the opportunity on Sunday to catch up.  I cook and we eat.  I make popcorn and we eat.  I cut veggie trays and we eat.  We nap because we spent the last two hours eating.

Wow.  I just admitted to laying around, watching TV and eating for an entire day every week.  A day dedicated to this.  My favorite day of the week.

To be completely honest, Sunday is also for laundry...not a lot of laundry but certainly enough to get me into the next week.  Through the week I will do another load or two, as necessary, but Sunday is my 2-load minimum day.

Sunday is also family phone call day.  I usually talk to my mother and my older sister.  I talk to my kids most Sundays.  We get a "muster" call from my mother-in-law, too, which is usually very long and very informative.  We hear all about the comings and going in her small, tight-knit neighborhood.  

But mostly on Sunday we talk to each other.  Really talk.  We talk every day but on Sunday we talk about our 5-year plan and things we want or need to do around the house.  We talk about our wills and we talk about what we would do if one of us goes first...he hates this part of Sunday.  He has a really tough time thinking I will go first.  We talk about anything and everything...except work.  Sunday we give ourselves a break and DO NOT talk about work.  It's like a mini-break...a vacation.  

Lily, the dog, loves Sundays, too.  She knows we will both be home with her all day long.  She is fairly spoiled day-to-day and I am sure thinks that Sundays are just so we can both take turns petting her and taking her outside; talking to her and kissing her little face.  Did I mention she's spoiled?

So now it is the end of my Sunday.  My husband is reading AND watching a marathon of Snapped and I am writing.  I haven't been writing every day as I had hoped but I am still writing!  Good for me!  I love being proud of myself.

Later...
