Soothing Sunday #4

Thank Goodness for Soothing Sunday.

We had considered getting up early to get Church "out of the way" at an earlier time and have more relaxation time at home.  Ha ha... we decided to sleep later instead.  Good thing too... it's the start of Catholic Schools Week and my kiddos had to "represent" their school at Mass.  All in all, we still relaxed by sleeping in, right?

My son had to work on a video for school, so I had to sit QUIETLY for an hour while he prepped and recorded himself.  A whole hour of being quiet.  Now that's weird... and I was awake too.  I wanted to do laundry, clean out the dishwasher, etc, but I had to just be quiet.  Not easy to do... especially when you realize, you forgot to eat lunch before he started and you are hungry.

My hubbie and I decided to check out the new show on FOX called Alcatraz.  I'm still undecided... on one hand it's my favorite genre "Crime Show" and on the other hand, there's that X-File-y/Fringe-ish aspect where you know there's more to the show but you don't know what it is and you're not sure you're going to like the show when you find out.  Yet, I still want to watch another episode, so I guess I've fallen for the "schtick."

Hmmm... I'd love to say I have some pithy advice on making your Sunday Soothing, but the above highlights one thing: taking time to just relax.  Maybe for you it's a mega work out... or a family meal (and that's still on my agenda) or perhaps, playing board games together.  Today I'm just hoping to recharge my batteries and get my brain functioning properly again.

I had a week of forgetfulness that as beyond belief... my favorite (which my friends and husband really got a kick out of) was going to the grocery store and realizing after I had checked out and walked into the parking lot that I had unpaid groceries on my cart.  I turned back around, paid for them, went back out to the parking lot and loaded my groceries into the car.  After going home, unpacking and putting away the groceries and then going to a Dr appointment, I realized, I left that stuff in the cart anyway.  

I also managed to stop at green lights, misplace my phone for a day, and forget which kid activities were scheduled when... oh, sigh!  Here's hoping my  brain re-wired today!
