Time for some ketchup and relish!

Weekends often get the ketchup and relish treatment in our house.

Saturdays seem to get filled with tasks, as we ketchup (catch up) on the things that we've lost track of this past week. Are the bills paid? Mail sorted/filed/recycled? Laundry done and put away? General clutter under control? Dishes clean and put away? Garden weeded and watered? Lawn mowed? Bathroom cleaned? Car filled with gas (ugh!), cleaned out, and washed?

Then on Sundays, we add a layer of relish. We relish our family with hugs and time together. Relish our home by enjoying the work we've put into it. Relish our friends with an impromptu party. Relish our free time and 'me' time with a little relaxation.

Sometimes it feels like we exhaust ourselves on Saturday, do absolutely nothing on Sunday so we can "recover", and then we're back at work on Monday. (Dare we say this method just doesn't cut the mustard anymore?) This weekend we're going to put the ketchup and relish in balance. We're going to make sure there's lots of relish on Saturday, and a bit of ketchup on Sunday. It's going to be a great weekend!
