Friday night: After reading all your comments in response to the Rose situation, I felt so bad that I arranged a date night with my husband. Actually, I arranged it before the post ;-) Went out for supper, had a great time. Must do it more often.
Friday night much later: Finish up some work on new project (will tell all on Monday! So excited!) Go to bed late
Saturday morning: Up early, check email. Feed kids, put load of washing on, go to bank, shops, parents.
Saturday lunchtime while the kids nap: Spend quality time with husband doing that thing that married people don’t do
Saturday afternoon: Little sister calls to say that she needs my help with something (she actually joking said “I need to spend some quality time with you” Haha! She had read my blog earlier). She and the kids spend afternoon with us
Saturday night: Catch up on work, go to bed far too late
Sunday morning: Force myself awake at 5am to get in some work before kids wake up. Finish up at 6:30 as kids awake.
Sunday morning 9am: Mother in law comes over to spend quality time with us
Sunday afternoon: Family braai at Sister Mel’s house, get back late on Sunday evening.
Sunday evening: Do some work on new project, try to reply to some emails. Fail. Go to bed.
Monday: Back to work
(BTW, just in case you think I am complaining, I am not. I love and adore my family and I am so damn lucky to have them around!)

How can you not love that? That sounds very much like a weekend in my life and I LOVE it. Quality time must be my love language. Have never done that test thing. Looks too complicated. :-)
Well done!

That's way too much togetherness for my liking! I spent Saturday in my pajamas and did NOTHING all day. Now that was good times!

This "new project" thing sounds juicy!!!! Can't wait to hear more. Glad you and Marko had some time together. x

Sounds like you didn't get much sleep! That's one thing I really miss about my pre-parenting life. And yes, you are lucky indeed.

Sounds great barr the "went to bed way too late" and "woke up way too early" parts. Those always suck.
Looking forward to Monday....

Are you sure you're not a Quality Time person - one who is just WAY saturated and in deserate need of SOME ALONE TIME!?!

you are working to hard...it is important in life to postponed as many 'to do things' as possible...if you can do something today,try and do it a week later...it works for me.

I know that it will never happen cause you're waaaaaaaaay to busy but I don't know enough people to use as alternatives so I have memed you (but assure you I won't be offended if you ignore it altogether :-))

Cheers babe (and I know that your project is all consuming but try to make some time for yourself too!)

As someone who needs some space and alone time to reset my head and breathe, this would be a little too much 'quality time' with others for me. I'd be exhausted, and not from lack of sleep.
