For the last 6 or 8 years, I have worked Tues. thru Sat. Which means that my 'weekend' is Sunday and Monday.
During the summer this is wonderful. As we head to the coast for the weekend, we pass everyone else heading back to civilization. Uncrowded beaches and shops, cheaper rates in motels, ect.
But then comes Fall, and the start of school. This is where the worst part of having an odd schedual comes. I now only have one day off with the whole family to go do anything we want to do. No more overnight trips (except for x-mas) until next summer.
But, where there is a cloud, there can often be found a silver lining. For this means that I now, once again, have my girl all to myself for an entire day. No kids.
Don't get me wrong, I love spending time with my kids. But once upon a time, before we were a family, we were a couple. I miss those days.
We can sit on the couch and snuggle while watching movies. We can go out for lunch, or a walk. We can even spend the whole day making love, sunshine warm on our skin as it comes though the bedroom window. Or in the shower, or the living room, or anywhere else we damn well please, with no kids to interrupt us(as just happened, cause they can't just let me have 10 min. to type like I asked
). Where was I? Oh yeah. So, Fall is here again. And I LOVE MONDAYS !!!

And I have to say that moving up there is looking more and more like its inevitable - I love it up there, and I have the chance, why not go for it?
It's so nice to have time with the person ou love without the kids around - you need that time!
