Saturdays Off

Ok, I just posted new pictures below but I have to answer Niki's question from weeks ago. She wanted to know how we worked our Saturday mornings off. If it doesn't interest you, just skip down to the next post for pictures.

Every Saturday one of us gets the morning off. We alternate weeks. Basically you have until noon to do whatever you want to do...without Demand. You can sleep in, head out, whatever. Saturday is my day off so I might send them out of the house and just have the house to myself. Two weeks ago I just hung around the house and then got my haircut. Last week Mr. Sloth had the car and the house to himself. I think he read and caught up with sports and then ran to the brewing store to pick up supplies while Demand and I headed to the Farmer's Market with our friends. If it's your morning off you decide if you want the car or even the house to yourself.

We've been doing this for four months or so now and love it. It makes things more bearable. Before I would want time off on Saturdays and so would Mr. Sloth. I didn't think it was fair to make him watch her just because he wasn't working, but I didn't think I should have to work 6 days and him only 5. I actually got the idea from a book where the mom takes Saturday mornings off. I thought it only fair to have us alternate. It has really reduced the times I've heard Mr. Sloth complain about not having time for some project or reading, etc.

Anyway, that's what we do and we're loving it so far.
