Oh crap. It’s Friday.
Am I the only person who dreads weekends?
From the moment my alarm goes off (no…I don’t naturally wake up at 6:15 a.m. on Saturdays) I run around frantically all day. My list of to-dos is a million check boxes long and it takes all day to get through it (I never get all the way through it).
I miss college football! I miss sitting on the couch in my jammies all day reading a book or (gasp) working on a manuscript. Nope. It’s all, “Crap. Late to T-ball. Crap. Is too cold to power wash the deck? Crap! Do you think I can snag the lawn mowing man next door? CRAP!! What do you mean you’re hungry? Can’t you see I’m in the middle of scrubbing/vacuuming/folding laundry/searching for a baseball sock?”
I’m tired of weekends full of crap. I want to go back to the slow days when I didn’t need to shower unless we were going out to dinner (which, BTW never happens any more).
Any suggestions on how to get my weekends back?

You could always fake being sick…oh wait, you’re a mom, so being sick doesn’t mean you get to rest. Crap. You could try putting a tent up inside your house to see if the amusement buys you an hour or so. Sorry, can’t think of anything else–I’m in the same boat a little bit, except we rent our house so we don’t have to worry about power washing the deck 🙂

You’re right mom’s don’t get sick days. LOL My boys aren’t doing sports this season. We needed a break, so now even though everyone else gets the weekend off I don’t. The laundry isn’t going to wash and fold itself,ect… LOL

Sounds like I’m not the only person who doesn’t cheer for saturday!

I’m not a fan of Saturdays–my husband always works a double shift on Saturdays…lame.

Manipulate time so that Saturday and Sunday are 36 hours instead of 24.

@William: When you figure out that machine, let me know. I’ll order a few.

Eek! Sounds like you’re in for a craptastic weekend. Here’s to hoping things slow down a bit! 🙂
