Here I sit watching TV. My daughter and her family just left and I did enjoy visiting with them, but for the most part most Saturday nights are spent just like this---watching TV or Netflix, reading the DS posts, reading Facebook, snuggling with my dogs. I guess I'm dull too. I find little I want to get out and do these days---I'm pretty much content to be right here in my own home and I've decided that's ok for now--maybe that will change someday, but for now I'm ok with it.

I am sitting here doing the exact same thing! I work full time and do try to enjoy my weekends. Mike and I did go out at least once a week but enjoyed just staying home and watching TV.

I just finished up cooking for the week. I cook meals for my MIL and bring them to her on the week-ends. I also cook for the Daycare for the week, since I work 13 hour days, and it's hard to cook for them when they are here, and under my feet! :-)

That's my usual Saturday night. Getting ready for the next week. Sometimes I have a lunch date, but most Saturday nights I'm here reading posts, cleaning the house, talking to a frind on the phone, researching something on the internet, or watching a movie. Tonight it's the toothfairy movie! I am doing "research work" on it for the Daycare kids!!1 lol

So guess I'm pretty dull too. but it's ok. I am ok with being at home, and being comfortable I guess.

Happy Saturday night to all

I am 39 and doing the same thing you are. I have visited the near death experiences websites. I have a strong spiritual side, but have not been reading the Bible much since my husband died. It just does not give me what I need right now. I read about spirituality and death. I pray, and I go to church more, but I just don't want to read the Bible just now.

I read DS before I go to bed each night. It sets the proper ending to my day. I spent the whole day with my kids and took 2 hours for myself in the middle of the day.

We are not much different.

I'm heading to bed at the whopping ripe hour of 8:52 after spending the last couple hours immersed in "The Five Ways We Grieve" by Susan Berger I picked up at the library today. Of course tomorrow is a fun filled day of going thru, deciphering & grading about 85 HSer's math notebooks of last weeks classwork so I can post some grades this week.
If DH was here I'd be home anyway, tho I'd be immersed in my sewing room in one of many quilt projects rather than burying myself up to my ears in school work to keep myself focused & feeling productive - & I'd be in the midst of a historical novel rather than grief books trying to get myself thru "surviving the storm" & figuring out how to "dance in the rain" again....My sister sent me one of those "motivating" e-mails today filled w/pics of little old couples doing daily mundane things together that ended w/that quote - "Life isn't about how to survive the storm, but how to dance in the rain"... Nice thought, but personally I've got a ways to go to get to that point again...

My Saturday was filled with taking the garbage to the transfer station and coming home, called my Dad and my friend Sandy(also a widow) then I cleaned the house. When I talked to Sandy during one of our many calls that we have everyday I suggested I get some custard and bring it to her new apartment. We enjoyed it but by 9 I was home. The dogs were happy. Oh and River I did the same thing seaching the internet about the afterlife. I too needed to know about spirituality. It gave me much comfort.

Saturday night just sitting watching TV. It is 1 in the morning. I really do not sleep to good. I wish we all lived closer so we could do something together on Saturday nights!!

Tonight I went to the birthday party for a former foster grandson of ours. He is getting adopted Aug. 31. I met his new parents a few months ago and feel this is really a good match. The party was fun, with teenagers and some children as well as adults. If I hadn't had this party to attend, I would be right here in my recliner reading "Where is God When It Hurts" by Philip Yancey. Not easy reading, was tempted to stop reading, but I kept on anyway and I'm getting some enlightening from it finally. It is quiet in the house except for my 2 cats chasing each other and crashing into some furniture or a wall. They are my entertainment. My phone seldom rings. I spent the morning riding my mower all over my 2-acre place. This has been a typical day for me. Lots of quiet, not much human interaction, and just chores to keep me going.

I am watching TV with my 2 children and reading DS posts. It is a pretty typical Saturday evening. I did housework earlier today, but still have more to do tomorrow.

Well it is now 1:30 am...:) I had a nice night with a friend. We sat around talking while my son and her husband did some tape and floating. Debbie:)

Was yesterday Saturday? I guess I missed it. I got the kids ready for bed and sat down with a stack of paperwork left from the days I took off to go visit my dad and get 3 kids back. Cleaning up the mess left by others. If I keep busy, I won't know what day of the week it is.

Thanks,friends, I feel closer than ever to you knowing I'm not the only one who gets most of her thrilsl from getting a new stack of library books. (By the way, NewRoads, I love Phillip Yancey!) Sometimes I get to thinking the whole world is living a glamorous life and I'm the only one at home in one of my husband's old T shirts playing with the dogs! Much love for a great Sunday!

Saturday night....hum....my fridge had yellow sticky gunk - cleaned that up. THE END. Am I a Jet Setter or what???? ha ha ha.

I had a Nephew that got married and since I am my Parent's chauffeur I went to that. It was very nice. Saw all of my cousins and the groom looked quite handsome and happy. I guess this makes me the wild one of the bunch here.

I sat on the patio, finishing off some wine from a few days ago, all by myself! Called a friend and talked a while while watering the flowerbeds. In bed by 10:30PM! Geeze, it is such a different life now.
