How to Survive Life in the Suburbs

Sometimes it’s the little things

in Uncategorized on 06/02/09


Woke up with a groan and rolled over.
Did not want to get out of bed.
So. Tired.
Peeled my eyelids open.
Desperately tried to focus on the alarm clock.
Huh?
It is only 4:12am!
Actually giggled to myself…I get to sleep for three more hours!
Sigh.
Sometimes it’s the little things that bring one joy in Suburbia.

      Oh a paradise of beds, cosy blankets and no kids jumping up and down on the bed screaming, when its time to get up.

      My kingdom for a ten hour sleep!!!

      I love it when I wake up on a Sat. morning thinking it’s the weekday and I have to get up, then quickly realized it’s Sat. and can go back to sleep. That feels so good.
      On a funny note, my 8 year old son wakes up everyday asking, what day is it?

      When that happens to me, I get so excited at the prospect of getting to sleep longer that I can’t fall back asleep…aaaargh!

      I was NOT giggling when I had to get up at 5:30 this morning and head to the gym. I am also not giggling now that my legs feel somewhat like tight jello (is that even possible???LOL). I think I will head to bed early so that it at least feels like I am sleeping in tomorrow. ha ha

    Squee! It’s that time again — planning another #HomeExchange getaway!
Leaving the house behind and headed to Ontario cottage country. 🌲☀️
The hubby and I are planning a 7 night lakeside escape just a few hours from home, and honestly, this is where the girl math really starts mathing. After an expensive year, I’m extra grateful for our HomeExchange membership — and I love browsing all the gorgeous lakefront homes nearby!

Do you have a favourite town or lake in cottage country? Tell me!!

One annual membership fee + listing our home = unlimited swaps all year long. Affordable luxury travel for the win.
