Sundays are such crappy days

Every time I recognize I have a "feeling" about something, I'm trying to remind myself to blog about it. Not that I want to have a blog full of "I hate my life .." moments, but a blog where people realize the ups and downs of my life because it isn't all perfect. In August, I told Scott since he had been such a great sport supporting the new things in my life - running thousands of miles, no longer sleeping in on Saturdays, aches and pains of 15 mile runs and standing at the finish line of so far each race I have run - that I would make a sincere effort to enjoy one of the major loves of his life - football. In the past I have really put up some major fights. 

I can't understand why we have to watch it all day Sunday, Monday nights, Thursday nights and Saturday's. Yes, this means "we" love Pro AND College football. I even joined a Fantasy League this year just so I could have something to talk about. But when it comes down to it, I just really hate Sunday's. He goes to his friends house and they watch football all day. I take time out for myself and do some things that I need to do for myself, but that doesn't take the whole day. Currently though at the same time, I'm going to admit that I miss my parents. Sunday's are days I could just hang out at home, and they would be there. If they weren't there during the afternoon, I could always look forward to dinner with them. That really helped make my days, not so lonely. 

However, they are gone right now and for the past 2 weeks I have dropped Scott off at his friends house at 12:30 and been left to figure out the remainder of the day by myself. I hate being by myself. I am a social person. Granted my social circle is rather small, but I prefer to be in the company of friends and family majority of the time. I really don't like being alone. I try my hardest to not pester Scott until the second set of games is over, with hopes - small hopes, that he will be ready to come home for the night game. I'll certainly watch the night game with him, as long as it means not being alone. I also have to add that now that it is getting darker earlier, it's starting to get slightly depressing. The sun definitely does something for your well being.

It's all about what you make of those Sundays. What a great time for a run or ride, a trip to the gym or the library.

Some day, you'll look back on these lazy Sunday's and wonder how you let them get away without a fight.
