Ahhh Sunday night....

When Friday night rolls around, I can't wait for the weekend to begin but it is the Sunday night blues that are right around the corner, they always show up, uninvited!  What a weekend we had.  Friday night Riley had a friend over and we just laid low.  Take out from one of our favorite restaurants, time together just watching TV and talking, hanging out.  Then it sneaks up on you, Saturday morning!   Sleeping in as long as possible until we jump out of bed just in time for a quick shower and coffee to go, off to haircuts with Riley.  A moment to breathe, it was nice, sitting on the couch in the salon, just reading magazines and sipping coffee while no one asked me any questions, or asked me to do anything.  From there, we grabbed some yummy breakfast at the local coffee shop and then home to....chaos!  All the Halloween decorations are out, my husband desperately trying to help my son get started on his biography Halloween project.....going nowhere!  You name it is scattered around my house and we're to leave for a soccer double header an hour away in just about a half an hour from now!  We pulled it all together and put it into high gear.  Everything basically got done and we left.  Riley played some fantastic soccer and we, despite the cold air, had a great time watching. We stopped for dinner on the way home and warmed up with some good food and relaxed again.  Then, it hit this morning, the Sunday Blues!  It started with the realization that all the homework that Jackson had to finish, technically had not been even started!  PANIC button and off to the craft fair so that we could pull the Attila the Hun pumpkin project together.  We do it and get back home to begin.  Mike and Jackson do a great job at getting started, but again and alas, the project is far from done!  And the math and the studying for ultimate frisbee and the studying for the science test this Wednesday too.....ugghh!  The afternoon that was supposed to allow for us to finish all this consisted of me not felling well so laying on the couch, stuck!  Then a surprise visit from my friend with her daughter, which resulted in a cup of tea and catching up.  Then, a visit from a boy scout selling popcorn, snacks needed and all kinds of other interruptions.  In the end, we finished the pumpkin, the math and sort of studied for the upcoming tests.  Showers, dinner, laundry, coffee, meatloaf, you name it.  Now its 8:51 and next is putting everyone to bed, brushing teeth, getting thermos of water, eye pillow, you name it and off to sleep before the week starts all over again.  Deep breath, and the Sunday blues go off to sleep!
