As I lay in bed at 10:30 on a friday night I am thinking WOW The definition of a nearly summer weekend night has evolved so much for me over the years... High school/teen years: weekends meant best friends, sleep overs, junk food, house parties, Denny's, "the spot" and long drives getting "lost"
College/early twenties: Weekends meant: Canada, dorm parties on high street, house parties, driving home to party with best friends, getting off work to your best friend picking you up and driving over the mountains to camp for the weekend, clubbing, parties, parties and more parties.
Late twenties/coupled up: weekends meant dive bar hoping, doing whatever the two of you wanted, staying up SLEEPING IN and being free for a couple days.
Thirties/wife/motherhood: weekends mean: keeping to the schedule, waking up earlier than you want, cuddles, playing all day, outside adventures, seeing the world all over again, learning something new, laughing, smiling from the inside out, living a life you created with little people you created.
This new weekend definition isn't what technically sounds like fun, it's not freeing, it's not crazy, it's not MY own, there's no me time. BUT I wouldn't change the new weekends for anything!
