Like everyone else, I long for a break from the usual routine when Saturday morning comes. I guess because I'm a stay at home mom, it especially annoys me that I find myself taking care of and entertaining the kids and doing the household chores all day on Saturday's and Sunday's, since that's what I do all week besides the weekends. But, my husband is usually busy doing the things he has to do, or wants to do, and someone has to take care of the kids and house, so that's me..
A very big part of me longs to experience the weekend days I see in my imagination; I can imagine days full of picnics at the park, family bike rides, fun day trips and taking in a drive-in, or the stars.. Then, church Sunday mornings, lunch with friends and getting in some much-needed R&R. I realize that this couldn't be every weekend, but twice a month would be nice to keep the dolldrums and saddies at bay....
So, I thought I'd ask everyone what you guys do with the weekends, and see if a lot of other people are doing the same as me and I'm just having unrealistic expectations, lol

I know a lot of women are struggling with the same desires, and there are two ways to go with this. If the hubby is not into what you need him to be into, then you either go to counselling yourself or with him; church counselling is good.... and decide to get some kind of acknowledgement from him about this, or some women just go ahead and do it themselves, accepting hubby is not into the same things, but there are other things in the relationship that are important to both. It is a tough call, but you are being aware of what you need, and that is a big step. Also, sometimes the husbands are sad with the burden of mid life too, and can't seem to see any way around it other than keep putting one foot in front of the other. Not sure if any of this is helpful to you but, some reflection anyways......
