As of now, I cannot get brunch with you or go on a long Highway 1 drive with my husband Monday – Friday. On the other hand, like realistically it’s just easier to plan and participate in the fun things of life on the weekend. I constantly battle with the illusion that a day contains more than 24 hours, and I’ll have the time and availability to make a 5 star homemade meal, bake dessert, have coffee with a friend, visit my family, workout and spend tons of quality with my cute husband all in one weekend ahahahhaa.Į) I’m placing a little too much hope on the weekends and am not trusting that God will provide equally refreshing, fun and exciting moments or experiences during the week. ** I struggle the most with this Sunday Scaries culprit. I feel like it’s a result of my own doing, because whenever I get Sunday Scaries, I either:Ī) Procrastinated on a work assignment or chore.ī) Am afraid of something I have to deal with that upcoming week.Ĭ) Am living an over packed lifestyle during the week that isn’t sustainable.ĭ) Overpacked my weekend schedule and didn’t get the chance to really rest or complete any of my chores or errands, which means I have to deal with them during the week. I’m not totally sure about my stance on Sunday Scaries. You didn’t have enough time to finish any errands or chores you pushed off and before you know it, you’re faced with the tough decision of going to bed on time, or staying up late and setting yourself up for a rough Monday morning.

The last phase of the Sunday Scaries is when time turns into the enemy, starts to run on hyperspeed and freakishly flies by faster than usual. Sometimes you also have a slight tummy ache. Your mouth forms into a pout, scowl or frown, and it kind of feels like an elephant is sitting on your chest. After this realization, you can’t help but let out a long, deep sigh.

The second phase of Sunday Scaries later pops up sometime between the afternoon and evening, when you realize that you have to go back to school / work / “real life” the next day. Then the thought “ohmygosh how is the weekend practically over already,” flashes through your mind. First, it appears Sunday Mornings, when you wake up and think “wow, this is my last day to sleep in this week”. The Sunday Scaries come in different phases.

The photo below is how I look when the Sunday Scaries creep up on me. The photo above is me living my best life, completely Sunday Scaries free. We’ve all felt the Sunday Scaries before and I’m sure we can all agree that it is not the best feeling. To have Sunday Scaries or to be Sunday Scaries free.
