I dislike when the days are not my own. Today we have a baby shower and then we are babysitting an almost 2 year old and then the tween has a pool party birthday party from 7 until 10 p.m. which means a lot of busy time today and none of it is my own time.
Working parents have 2 days off a week to get things done. Living on a farm those two days involve keeping up with things around the home but it’s work you love to do if you live the lifestyle. While I appreciate the “tradition” of showers, be it wedding or baby, I dread losing “me” time to attend them. That does not mean I do not like or love the people they are for as I do. But I love my “homelife” more so it’s a chore for me to give up some of that time.
My daughter is invited to the shower today too and she got up early and started this breakfast for us as she knew it would lift my spirits and help with getting things done while I did the morning feeding of the animals!! She is my Sunday blessing!!

What a delight pancakes for breakfast. We love them in this house almost as much as waffles, which we got hooked on during our one and only visit to the USA. I agree with you about the Me time, I also love having the day to myself.
Looks great! I agree, hate when my weekends are filled with other commitments, but savor the moments where I can do what I want to do.
