Ooooo your usual Sundays seem really good ! I like that 🥰

@Cher 🧖🏾‍♀️🏋🏿‍♀️🎧 girl yes! It perfect way for me to recharge and do it for another week

Wishing you all the best at you FIL, this sacrifice is temporary. Keep that in mind. Not saying that to take away how important Sunday is for you . I truly get it , Self care is absolutely everything ❤️🫂

Whenever I feel that way I remind myself how I’d feel if it were my Fathers birthday. Of course I’d want my husband to be there! Personally if he didn’t want to I may initially be upset, but it wouldn’t stick with me. But then, everyone’s different!

Tbh birthdays are only once a year thing and I’d just sacrifice that day for my husbands family. As I would want him to come to any important family events. So it’s just fair that you go to his too.

@Cher 🧖🏾‍♀️🏋🏿‍♀️🎧 you're absolutely right. A small sacrifice for my husband who sacrifices so much everyday 🫶🏾 Thank you for reminding me 💖

@Anna totally agree

@Mariah next Sunday 🥂 I shall be thinking of you . Good luck xx

🥂

Sounds reasonable for you to go to be honest

Would it be possible to ask for a make up half day like a solo evening off to get some of your time back?? As it is for self care and seems to be working for you, it may be good to get some of that back to prevent you 'crashing out' as the youth day 😅.

@Lorraine I'm gonna talk to my husband about it. We usually spend his second day off as a family but he's got jury duty this week I'm hoping it get canceled or something lol

Yeah some weeks we have to sacrifice it for whatever’s on. Friday nights is suppose to be my nights, I go salsa dancing to “decompress” 😂 and last Friday, as you know, was Vday. Hubby would be spewing if I rejected him for some dancing (that I go every week mind you) so …we went to a date night. But I had a Galentines on Sat. If he’d told you beforehand, you could’ve had your time before or after the FIL’s bday. I usually split one day into 3- lunch, arvo, and night. (Im not a morning person so morning is out of the question lol) Depending what time FIL’s bday was, you could take a couple hrs to yourself earlier/later that day.

@Kellie salsa dancing sounds like so much fun!!! Do you go to a class or..? Yea definitely wished I'd known beforehand. I almost made plans with a friend. The only reason I didn't was because I forgot to hit the send button 🙃 Me and the babies wake up anywhere from 9-11ish so I get it! 😅 This is pretty much an all day event. I woke around 9 and just started getting ready, had some quiet time to do my hair, drink my coffee so that was nice. But once our oldest woke up at 11 we left the house at 1:30 and got back in a few minutes ago. I'm hoping after the boys dr appt I'll get some self care in.

@Mariah it’s free classes held at a club, “latin night” salsa class at 7 bachata class at 8, 9pm social plays salsa and bachata until 11.30 and Reggaeton all night until 4. (I leave at 12-1) It’s my hobby that keeps me fit gets me out of the house, gives me a chance to dress up and meet people and make friends (probably the last place you wanna be as an introvert 🙈) but perfect for me as an extrovert to have a consistent social life without always relying on my friends to be free. ☺️
