Running thru life... making the most of my days off

Every now and then because of my schedule I have a day off during the week- which Rocks!!

My hubby and I often joke that I work harder on my days off than he does when he is at work. 
For instance, a couple of Mondays ago I got up at 8:30 am and did not take a shower or sit down until 4:30 pm.   CRAZY you might think?

My days off have become my "do everything days" so I can enjoy the weekends. 
It makes sense since most of my friends and family are at work. 
I often use this day to do errands, clean the house, pay bills, run, etc. 
It is amazing how efficient I can be when I am home by myself and also the stores are empty for shopping. 

So, just to humor myself- I wrote down everything I did and how much time it took.

0830 Woke up and made the bed
0830-0845  Fed Clemson and Cleaned up the kitchen
0845-0915  Cleaned 3 guest bathrooms.
0930   Left the house to run errands.  Stop by Red Box to get a movie to run to.
1000-1040 Costco
1040-1100 Unloaded the car and put stuff away
1100-1115 Took Clemson for a quick walk and play time
1115-1315 Ran 13.1 miles
1315-1330 Stretched
1330-1345 Moved all the planters to the deck for the spring/Quickly cleaned out the garage with the blower.
1345-1445 Quick trip to REI (needed more hydration packets) and got Car Washed
1500- 1530  Returned home to check mail- paid bills, contacted our auto insurance for a car problem and blogged a little
1530-1600  Finished the Laundry started from the previous night
1600- Talked to my brother, made a quick flower arrangement with the roses I purchased at Costco - followed by a shower and a quick walk with Clemson
1700 Dinner time.

CRAZY!!!!! Just thinking about it makes my head spin. 
But it makes me so happy when I think about what I will not have to do this week or this weekend coming up.  What do you during the week to help you enjoy your weekend?
