Sunday with My Girls

March 11, 2012

The boys are in the mountains today skiing. We girls are at home.

I don't mean to be sexist here but the truth is sometimes the girls slow the boys down. (Sometimes we kick their butts too, like Celine's dogged determination on our backpacking trip last summer.) And though our boys are very patient with us we wanted them to have a day alone of skiing where they could just - go. And not wait for the more reluctant (female) family members. 

I suppose this might happen more as Laurent grows into manhood and is chomping at the bit to do hardcore stuff with his dad. 

Anyway, I needed a break. A Sunday to sleep in, to stay in my pj's all day if I want. A Sunday where I am not hauling my you-know-what up a cold snowy mountain.

Today's the day. Perfect timing since it's the start of Daylight Savings and I need all the extra sleep I can get with the time change. 

I found a video explaining Daylight Savings Time at Sorta Crunchy this morning. I thought it was helpful to explain why the powers that be make us suffer this way (I do struggle with the spring sleep loss).

I can't get the video embed to work, you can watch the video at Sorta Crunchy or here.

Wishing you a happy Sunday outdoors, or in my case, a day in my pj's watching a chick flick with my girls and chilling out together.

Breaking News: The boys just drove in. The mountain was too icy from the rain we had this week and after one run down they decided to come home. So I guess we will see what the day holds...
