SOLSC: Saturdays - 5/31

The Slice of Life Story Challenge 
is hosted by the Two Writing Teachers.

Saturdays

What I love about Saturdays . . .

. . . waking up s-l-o-w-l-y without the assistance of the alarm

. . . snuggling in -- "Just five more minutes."

. . . devouring scrumptious blueberry pancakes with hot syrup

. . . browsing the local newspaper, friendly e-mails, educational e-newsletters, and updated blogs 

. . . lounging in my pjs for as long as I possibly can

 . . . organizing a family-friendly activity for the afternoon

. . . spending every waking minute with my girls: playing, learning, reading, conversing, and loving

 . . . anticipating a date night with my one and only, even if we're nestled on the couch with Netflix

 All the while, I'm ignoring that bursting bag that I dragged home from school.

Saturdays are what I love!

There is always Sunday.  Thank God for two day weekends!

    Oh how I identify with you...
    Saturdays are my unplanned days. It is the one day of the week that I do not put any pressure on myself. On Sunday, I will get it together and do all the things that need to get done but Saturday is mine to do with whatever I wish (children have left the nest). School bags remain unpacked.

    Me too--although sometimes I switch and let Sundays be my day, but usually Saturday. It's nice this morning to be able to read all the blog posts I want, at my leisure, without worrying about getting to school on time!

    Enjoy your day!

    I enjoyed reading your Saturdays list. It sounds like they are great! I liked your idea of doing a list for a solsc post.

    I love a good list! Saturdays are by far my favorite because those papers are always waiting for me on Sunday!

    My lazy days are Sundays, but you hit the nail on the head with this post. So much of my life is go, go, go, that it is nice to have one day to just chill and let what happens happen.

    I certainly love those Saturdays, Sundays too. You listed all the good things. It's really a poem, isn't it?

    Saturdays, a perfect day of the week with of course, Sunday looming overhead. I tried to switch them up but I couldn't.
    But Saturdays, a perfect day for some SLICING!

    Oooh! I love this post! I was looking at others' posts, hoping to be inspired, and yours did just that! Thanks for the idea. "Borrowing" ideas is the best form of flattery, right? Happy Saturday!

    It's crazy I know but I love getting up early on Saturdays just so I can get more of the day!

A Conversation with My Writer Self

I don't know what to write about today. [Scratching head.  Bulging eyes staring at the blank screen.] Write about the ordinary. Write about the little things. Just write and write. I know, I know.  But I don't know what to write. [Shoulder shrug. Clicking fingertips on the keyboard.] Open your writer's notebook. Search for an idea, a seed, a spark. Let it grow, ignite and you will write. My writer's notebook? Oh, that little book that has been ignored?  Unattended?  Left blank? [Digging and searching for my notebook.] Live the life of a writer. Ideas breathe all around you  every day.   In and out.  In and out. I know. I know. [Dusting the notebook off. Cracking it open as if it hasn't been opened in years.] It's time to revive the notebook. Open your eyes and ears to your world that's waiting to be captured and shared. I know what to write about today., but first, let me write down a few ideas. [Bringing my wr...

{bedtime stories} 2/31 #sol16

The March Slice of Life Story Challenge hosted  at the  Two Writing Teachers Join us for a month of writing! _________________________________________________________ "Time to head upstairs.  PJs on and let's brush teeth!"  My very favorite time of the day is bedtime with the girls.  I hurry and hustle and bustle them along, so that we have plenty of time to settle into a bedtime story or two (or more like three).  Each girl picks out a book and then one usually snags a third. "Mommy, this is one that you want to read. Right?"  When the girls are completely ready for bed, we meet in my bedroom to snuggle in the big bed.  I'm in the middle, sandwiched between the two girls.  Heads resting close by, slowly slithering closer, they each nestle on my shoulder to get a closer look at every ...

sols: a gift of words

Slice of Life  hosted  at the  Two Writing Teachers . Join in and share a slice of your life. One of the best gifts I give myself is time to write Monday evenings for the Tuesday Slice of Life.  That writing time allows me the opportunity to think about the little moments in my life.  Sometimes those moments are big and important.  Other times it's a funny moment that made me laugh.  Or a celebration, a word, a poem about the ordinary life.  I'm still amazed that I have been writing each week for over three years! Yet, there is another gift . . . My mom and dad have published my writing.  Just this past Christmas, I received volume five of my blog writing.  Yes, I have five books f...
