Sunday...A Day of Rest???

At 8:40 pm, I am wondering where my weekend went. I thought Sunday was meant to be a day of rest...

My husband and I just finished hauling out at least 12 big garbage bags full of donations for Big Brothers Big Sisters. They do a neighborhood pick up every so often and tomorrow is the day, so I thought I'd take advantage of the convenience of not having to load up the van to drop off our donations. I spent most of the weekend cleaning out kids rooms and toy cabinets, closets and drawers- itemizing and bagging it all up. It feels good to get it cleared out! Yet, I feel like there is still so much more to go through. I didn't even get to my closet. I guess there is always next time. I am wondering if anyone will be sifting through the bags at the street tonight.

If you read yesterday's blog, you'll know I spent yesterday doing laundry. Back to work tomorrow and I'm not ready! I wanted to spend time designing my blog header. I was going to make homemade soft pretzels with my kids (guess the dough will keep in the fridge for another day or two). We did just finish watching Superman II with the kids. A too short escape from the weekends work.

With all there seems to be to do...how do mom's make time for it all? Do you have any time saving tips or ways you make time for the really important things like making pretzels with your kids? I'd love to hear about them. Drop me a comment and maybe other moms can gain some helpful tips, as well.

I'm off to enjoy the last fleeting hours of the weekend by tucking my kids in bed and relaxing with my hubby. Hope you had a great weekend with a few moments of relaxation for yourself.
