Sep. 22, 2006 - It's Friday!
Have you ever had one of those weeks that you were counting down to Friday? Earlier in my life when I worked outside the home I always did this. I would start the countdown first thing Monday morning and couldn't wait until Friday! When I quit work and started staying home I found that I LOVED Mondays. It was a fresh start to a new week. I could get back on my schedule and enjoy being home with my kids. But this week, I noticed that I had a little countdown clock ticking away in the back of my head all week long. I knew from the beginning that this was going to be a busy week and I really dreaded it. I found myself looking to just hurry up and get past certain days and move on to the next. I would say to my husband, "I just need to get through tomorrow night."
I really dislike living my life like that! It frustrates me beyond belief to constantly be trying to get past where I am and into the future. (Does that sentence make any sense?) In other words, I hate it when I get into situations where I have obviously over-committed myself and then end up regretting it. As I get older, I try to say yes less to things that I really don't want to do, but sometimes they still creep in.
So, long story short--IT'S FINALLY FRIDAY and yes I am very HAPPY!!

Hi! I can relate to your post! I too sign us up for too many activities on the same day which means it is too much for my son and my exhausted husband to do....so I need to be reminded, (because I already know I should say no) to say no. We need to cut down on things...or at least spread them out. It's funny how you were saying you were counting down...ever since I stopped teaching I have a hard time knowing what day it is! But I love to count down to friday...that's when my dh comes home for 2 wonderful days of spending the weekend together. Have a great weekend !
