Making My Weekends More Productive...While Also Getting Much Needed R & R

The ex picked the boys up a day early for once.

The break is great. I get so exhausted, and I passed out not too long after I got home from work. I had some house cleaning to do, but I do that all the time. I just wanted to chill. And chilling soon turned to sleep. 

I'm still pretty tired this morning. Would love to skip work today, but I can't...and I can get a lot done today

But I just want to sleep. That has become a problem for my weekends when I don't have the boys. Sometimes, I don't get nearly as much done as possible. 

I need to implement some productivity elements into my weekend, instead of leaving them so open...make weekend goals and daily agendas, just like I do at work.

And include time for myself. 

I also really miss my boys when they are gone despite how grateful I am for the break. Coming home to an empty house is depressing. And I see them everywhere in the house...in the things they play with, their favorite spot on the couch, their favorite toys strewn about, their empty beds. I miss them when I wake up. Most, but not all the time, they end up in my bed. I know they are starting to get too old for that...but...I love it. 

Those are some of the weekend obstacles that prevent me from being as productive on the weekends as I would like. 

This weekend, I plan to change that. Or at least start implement habits that will allow me to work on changing it. 

I have been tackling things one at a time. Sometimes I take a step or two back, but I continue to make forward progress. Significant progress too. 

Thanks again for listening, Life Line. And id doing so, allowing me to work through problems that have been bothering me.
