A Week with No Kids

What exactly does that look like?

Well, here's a day by day schedule...or somewhat schedule...

Sunday afternoon - Fayetteville - stress free shopping at the Smithfield outlets. No strollers, no snacks, no potty breaks or dirty diapers (well except for Ian...he needed a potty break because his bladder is the size of a pea.) Late dinner with no kids begging for food... Ahh....

Monday - Ian woke up at his usual time (7ish); I slept until 8, got to the store at 9:15 or so. Worked at the store all morning. Went home for lunch, washed some clothes, worked on a couple of my projects...until... Ian called to see if I wanted to go play a round of golf with him and two of the Grand Opening Supervisors. Um, yes! Count me in! (We figured out that it had been a good 3+ years since I've played golf on a regular basis...Needless to say, we got there early and started before the other guys to give me some "warm up" time.) At the end of the round however, we decided that maybe I should wait long periods of time in between each round of golf because I shot a 104. (Which is GREAT for me...lol...) Follow a round of golf with a meal at a local Mexican restaurant...hello dream day!

Tuesday - Slept in a little, or lounged a little, due to a horrible headache. Ate a late breakfast, cleaned, cleaned, and cleaned some more. Took my time getting dressed, straightening my hair, etc. Ate lunch with Ian. He and I were able to go (during naptime!) to hand deliver invitations for our Premier Night next week to some of the local businesses with whom Ian has developed relationships.

Wednesday - I went to work at Chick-fil-A, but instead ended up just hanging out and sitting in on a meeting. I did go to Office Max to purchase something for the kitchen. And we all went to lunch together, so that was fun. I was able to meet some of the new employees because they were at Chick-fil-A turning in paperwork and picking up their uniforms. I came home and washed more clothes, and I finally finished painting the Chick-fil-A logo on the marketing pots I created for the store. (I need to come up with a fancy name for these things!) I also cooked a yummy meal for dinner...stress free...no kids begging for food while I was cooking, no fights to break up, no loud squealing...just me, my kitchen, and my new Shane and Shane CD that I bought on iTunes last night!

Thursday - first thing tomorrow morning, I'm going to the first meeting of my women's Bible study with the church. Then I'll come home to do some more cleaning (LOTS of family coming into town this weekend!!) AND! Tomorrow night, I'm hosting a girls' night over here! Sheena, Annette, and Whitney will be coming over for a Christmas ornament/decoration craft night. Each person comes up with an idea for what they want to make, they provide enough supplies for each person to make that craft, and then we all make them (and of course there will be yummy food!) I can't wait for some girl time!
