Weekends, in short supply...

Although I miss hubby, I am enjoying a relaxed weekend.... and, I really should enjoy this one -- as the next couple of months looks like this...

Weekend 1 (this weekend), relaxed, working on papers and getting stuff done...
Weekend 2: I go to Red State
Weekend 3: Our first debate tournament, Kansas City...
Weekend 4: Hubby comes home
Weekend 5: Debate tournament Northern, IL
Weekend 6: hubby comes home for fall break...
Weekend 7: Debate tournament in Red State (we'll stay with hubby, and he'll judge -- yippee!
Weekend 8: probably a debate tournament, if not, I go to see hubby (probably Colorado)
Weekend 9: the opposite of weekend 8 (tournament is in CA)
Weekend 10: debate tournament, Wisconsin...
Weekend 11: our anniversary, hubby is planning a romantic trip :)
Weekend 12: hubby is home for Turkey
Weekend 13: My next weekend likely to be home alone
Weekend 14: my birthday, I'll probably go to Red State,
Weekend 15 Hubby comes home for winter break.....

Good thing I bought a new suitcase today, huh :) -- it is just the right size for me for a weekend -- and it has great wheels and lots of nifty pockets. The kind of scary thing is that most of my weekends are planned from MLK weekend to Spring Break.... before I know it, it will be next summer!

Wow. That's exhausting. Any chance you can take a day off mid-week just to have one to yourself?

not really, although my schedule on Tuesday/Thursday has me off campus by noon, and I don't come in until noon on MW, so it kind of ends up to be 24 hours off. Of course, that is time I need to prep and work on the dissertation ---

and, hubby weekends are relaxing.

I've actually thought about this a lot. I think having your weekends planned so far in advance makes time seem to go by so much quicker. You wake up monday and it's a countdown to Thursday night. When the hard part of your life (for you, teaching...and for me school) is broken up into 4 day segments, it's a lot easier to get through. Not to say that weekends are all fun. It's just that they involve stuff that passes the time quicker. They involve something that you've made the choice to dedicate your life to.

I'm only debating twice this semester. Which means I'm having a hell of a hard time counting down to the weekend. It also mean that I'm having to find things to do from Friday-Sunday.

Here's to counting your life through a series of weekends.
