Dammit, I WANT TO SLEEP IN! Stupid bladder!
It's been a tough weekend for sticking to my guns actually. Every week I finish physically tired from work, and every weekend I get sucked in (usually by Miniest but they're all guilty) to traipsing around Kmart or cafes or something that isn't resting. This weekend I've really put my foot down and said no, I need to rest, I need to save money, Miniest has a cold and I know you're bored but that's bad luck, I'm exhausted and I'm not taking a coughing child out in shitty weather to be stared at like a family of monsters.
What we do is one weekend at home and the next weekend we go out. Cold weekend it's automatically a stay in.
My boys are a bit like that now where they'll get me up earlier than I'd like and we need to have quieter weekends. Last weekend I was sick and wanted a quiet one that didn't work out, but seems like we're having a quiet sunday
