Slow Hot Weekends

It's too hot to ride bikes, it was in the plan but the reality is that humidity is rearing its ugly head once again in tandem with this 110 degree weather and most of our weekend was spent inside. If only it would rain..I cleaned our palace and had some good yoga time this weekend, having done an hour of restorative today it was like getting a full body massage. They say that doing one hour of restorative yoga is the equivalent to 8 hrs of good sleep. Last night I slept so good, better than I have in a week. Jake and I set out to pick out some gifts with his birthday money and get slurpees. He decided on Starwars motor bikes and action figures..another Anakin and a whole slew of battle droids & clone troopers. I haven't had to cook in a whole three days, amazing. At least not anything substantial.We did pizzas last night from the local deli and tonight the boys brought home Chicago style hot dogs and fresh cut fries. While this has lightened my load considerably this weekend I always feel yucko if I eat out too much. That's it for take out for a while! My parents brought over and helped us put together my new outdoor patio set. It really makes the back patio into a beautiful and comfortable space. All I have left to do is add some string lights and potted cacti...I  would love to do ficus trees if it wasn't for the javelina that eat anything and everything they can get too. School starts in just a few short weeks and I started getting together the lost list of supplies..1 new backpack 2 more too go, still need to head out for school clothes for the little man and get every ones hair cut. I am looking forward to being home more this week..Like many moms who work full time I felt like I was always missing out on things when I couldn't be the one to go on field trips or attend lunches in the middle of the day.My oldest so will be getting his learners permit this week, I just can't fathom this still. I can't help but look at him and think of him at 5 yrs old, the little man who went with me everywhere and did everything with me, my shadow. This will be a good week. It will be busy finishing up my last sociology session for the summer but by next weekend it will be done and over and this busy mommy will be on break for a whole 40 days from school. Looking forward to going to The Clear Light Buddhist Center next Sunday, the start of my meditation classes and my middle son will be attending their children's meditation program. I also have a few retreats here coming up that I am excited to attend, I have been slowly bringing more spirituality into my life and I think this will enable me to continue to do so. This is what speaks to me in this chapter in my life so I am going with it..I am also entertaining the idea of Unplugged Sundays, more on this to come.. Hope you all have had a blessed weekend..
