A Day (Err,Weekend) in the Life #AMonthofFaves
A Day (or Weekend) in the Life. What did you do on Saturday, December 8th … or the weekend – December 8-9. Let’s take a peak into each others’ lives as as we chronicle what we all did on that day (or during the weekend).
Thanks for joining me, Tamara, Tanya Patrice, and Kim for this event!
Saturday
6:20 – How is it that I’m awake before the alarm every day? Even on Saturday!
6:30 – Get the coffee started.
6:45 – Get hubs and the boy up and out of bed.
7:45 – Hubs and kiddo are out the door. Hubs has a training, and kiddo is going to his dad’s house across the street from the training.
8:00 – Out the door myself…off for coffee and chatter with my mom. I grabbed three sausage patties on my way out the door for breakfast. Ha!
10:00 – Back home! Quick shower and wrap up some Etsy shop orders that need to go out.
12:30 – The house needs a quick tidy, but I’m not feeling it. Curl up on the couch with a basket of crochet for Christmas gifts, a chicken breast sandwich and pork rinds (low WW points) for lunch.
1:30 – Still on the couch, but I’ve added a weenie dog to the mix (much snuggles) and downloaded The Devil Wears Prada.
2:30 – Hubs is home! He stopped to get groceries along the way. We spend some time talking about his day and brainstorming for some upcoming business plans we’ve been working on together.
3:30 – Movie time! More Devil Wears Prada and crochet.
4:30 – What was I even doing? OH! Having a coffee for a snack. My favorite creamy mocha…only two WW points! Recipe: coffee of your choice, a tablespoon of white chocolate mocha sugar free Skinny Syrup, creamer (dictates a lot of the points), and a squirt of Hershey’s whipped cream.
5:30 – Movie is over, dogs are still snuggling me, and I’m writing this post. Starting Ghostbusters (2016) while I write some other posts since I don’t really need to follow it closely. I pretty much have it memorized.
6:30 – Still writing and making images for posts and Pinterest. Really need to wake hubs up from a too-long nap.
7:30 – Finally dinner time! Tex-Mex takeout. Continue to crochet until bedtime.
10:15 – Hubs is off to bed. Time to do some Scripture writing and music listening.
11:00 – Attempt to read on the couch…fall asleep instead.
4:00am – Oh hey. Bed time, for real!
Sunday
8:30am – Awake. Sorta.
9:00 – Off to Mom’s for coffee, silliness, and multi-grain Cheerios. Wearing a hat I crocheted!
10:30 – Back home. Not sure what’s gotten into me, but there’s a cleaning spree happening. Went through dresser drawers, tossed things, donated, consolidated drawers, folded laundry, cleaned up clutter, folded more laundry.
12:30 – A lunch of low cal popcorn (Jolly Time 100 cal) and BBQ pork rinds.
2:30 – More cleaning and watching Vlogmas videos on YouTube. Time to put on The Muppet Christmas Carol and wrap gifts.
3:00 – Hubs is off to a Cub Scout committee meeting. He’ll be gone for at least four hours. Mark my words.
3:40 – Gifts are wrapped, mess is cleaned up. OOPS! Was supposed to leave 15 minutes ago to pick up the boy. Good thing his dad is running late, too. No time to shower, so it’s out the door in sweats with weird hair.
5:00 – Back home, jump on the trampoline with kiddo for five minutes until my toes are freezing, kiddo into the shower, then me into the shower, finalize dinner.
6:00 – Dinner time! Chili! Finish this post (mostly) and grade!
8:15 – Kiddo to bed. Grade some more.
10:00 – Bedtime for me. ZzzzzZZZZzzzz.
Whew! What did you do this weekend? Don’t forget to link up right here!

That sounds like a lovely weekend. Lots of time for favourite things, plus a good cleaning/organizing spree in there, is my favourite kind of weekend!
Andi
It was an especially chill weekend. I’m not used to being the one with the fewest responsibilities on my plate! lol
Elizabeth @Silver's Reviews
Love the hourly documentation. 🙂
Thanks for sharing.
Andi
Thanks, Elizabeth!

We get up at 6:30 during the week and joke that our sleeping in is now getting up around 6:45 instead. I wish a cleaning spree would happen around here.
Andi
I knowwww this feeling. The cleaning spree continued tonight. So tired!
Sharlene
Sounds like a busy weekend! Also like you, I write my posts while watching something, usually TV shows on Netflix
Andi
Yep! I have The Office on repeat practically.
Katherine
Oh, the creamy mocha looks gooood.
Thanks for co-hosting A Month of Faves!
Andi
It was deeeelicious! I had another one for a snack this afternoon. lol
Amanda
What a delightfully cozy weekend! I miss your face!
Andi
I miss YOUR face!
Tanya Patrice
Love how relaxed your weekend was – and sound slike fun in just the right way! And that tree – fab!
Andi
Thank you! Yes, it was an unusually low key weekend for me. Hubs and kiddo, not so much. lol
Akilah
Your weekend was productive while being chill. Best possible combination (if it can’t just be all chill.) Good luck with the rest of grading! It’s almost over!
Andi
I’m soooo ready to be done! I knocked out a ton yesterday, so I’m on the downhill slope!
Kim
Sounds like a relaxing but still productive weekend!
Tamara @ Traveling With T
That coffee drink looks fab. SO yummy! Your weekend sounded like the perfect mix of relaxation with productivity!
Andi
Yes! And I can’t say I strike that balance very well much of the time! lol It was great.
Katie @ Doing Dewey
This sounds like a really lovely weekend! I’m kind of jealous you live close enough to your mom to just drop by and visit.
Andi
You know, that fact has dictated a lot of my life decisions. She raised me as a single mom, and being near her has always been a huge priority. She’s my bestie, and she’s newly retired! We’ll have even more time to hang out, which I’m really glad to do.
