A Day In the Life - Weekend Edition

This time around the theme for the Not Just A Mom Link-up is a day in our everyday life - but on the weekend. I'm glad it's a weekend day because my weekdays have little to distinguish one from another, and they are really quite boring! Even my Saturdays are quite a bit like weekdays at this point, but there's a better chance of us doing something different in the evenings. I didn't plan this Day in the Life in advance, so I'll give a rundown of yesterday. 

On Sundays we typically sleep a bit later than usual. Even with losing the "Spring Forward" hour (grumble grumble), we could sleep in compared to weekdays. Our morning coffee wasn't quite as leisurely as most Sundays though, and we rushed a little in getting dressed and ready to go to church.

10:30am - I knew it would be colder, but was still surprised that there was snow on the ground when we went out! We were a couple minutes late to church as a result, but enjoyed the service and the chance to interact even briefly with new acquaintances afterwards.

12pm - We made a quick stop at the grocery store so I could pick up a couple things to make lunch. 

12:30pm - Home, changed into casual clothes, and lunch put in the oven.

1pm - Our son, daughter-in-law, and granddaughter arrived and we were able to eat almost right away. Cheeseburger sliders, Mac & Cheese, and veggies on the menu. After a leisurely meal and conversation, I tidied the kitchen and dining room up a bit and we got ready to head out on this week's exploration and adventure!

2:30pm - We arrived at our adventure destination. Because my husband and I are new to the Columbus area, we try to find something new to us to explore each weekend. When we can do something with our son and his family, that's even better! We look for things our granddaughter will find interesting and that won't cost a ton of money. This week it was the Columbus Museum of Art, which is free on Sundays. 

4:30pm - The museum closes at five, so we headed back to the car and chose a coffee shop to try out. We'd just decided to start working on visiting the coffee shops in the Columbus Coffee Trail app. Unfortunately we couldn't find free parking close to the shop we first chose, so we looked for alternative choices on the list, and after only a little frustration and a bit more driving, we found one with on-site parking! Yay for mochas and the first stop on the coffee trail completed!

5:30pm - Headed back to our place and debated how hungry we were and if they had time to stay for dinner. Hubby and I had been to the hockey game on Saturday evening so we knew about a half-off pizza deal (since the Blue Jackets scored at least two goals) and we agreed we would take advantage of that. I ordered the pizza soon after we got back home and then went to pick it up.

7pm - While enjoying our pizza, we had watched a little TV and played a few guessing games with our granddaughter, made tentative plans for the next couple weekends, and then it was time for them to go home. I tidied up the kitchen - again! - and went to check on the laundry situation and sit down at the computer for a bit to see what had been happening in my email and social media world.

9pm - Hubby and I enjoyed an evening cup of coffee - yes, third coffee break of the day! - and wound down for the night. Had time to read for awhile before trying to get some sleep. I don't typically get to bed that early but I guess that lost hour caught up with me!
