TGIF

 I have a love/hate relationship with Fridays.  My Friday began at 3 am this morning with my 6 year old asking me why aren't I up yet getting her ready for school.  On a side note, I also do not understand why my kids constantly wake up nude.  I put them to bed with full PJ's on and by the AM they are nude.  I dread the day we may need to evacuate the house and its winter.  Who knows what the neighbors will think.  Anyway, my response to her was, "Are you kidding me?"  Every other day during the week getting my kids out of bed is like pulling teeth, painful and frustrating.  I have to say I do love payday Fridays, those are always nice.  But payday Friday does not mean the same thing they use to before kids and responsibilities.  I remember the day when half the paycheck went to new shoes, clothes and Happy Hour with good friends.  Now the check isn't enough and it goes towards things such as diapers, formula, car payments and shoes for the kids.  Man they grow out of them quick.  Also, Fridays now consist of  movies on "On Demand" and a glass of wine.  Is it bad that some Fridays I dread because I know that my weekend is nothing to look forward to?  I mean, I would love to know that my weekend was my own to do with what I wish.  If that makes me selfish, than so be it!  Fridays also indicate that I have 2 whole days to spend with my kiddos.  This is also both good and bad.  Lets just say by Sunday I am ready for the week to begin.  Sad, but true! Enjoy your Friday everyone!
