I naively thought that when E decided not to do travel ball this Spring, that it would free up our schedule. And it has.....to add different things to our calendar. Travel ball has been swapped out for fishing tournaments. But that, for the most part, does not include me. I watch the blast off (when I don't oversleep) and go to the weigh ins.
Despite having my Saturdays free, Fridays have become my favorite day. I was laughing with E the other day, telling him that most people are busy on the weekends but just go to school/work on the weekdays. We are just the opposite. Between school events, church and work, we are so incredibly busy during the week. But, the weekends for me, are spent cleaning, catching up on laundry and doing projects around the house. Most weeks I am on countdown mode to Fridays, when I can relax and be on my own agenda.
Fridays are when I can take a deep breath, make dinner (sometimes) and read a book or catch up on shows that I've missed during the week. Fridays are when I can put the stress of the school week behind me. Fridays are when I can shut off my phone and enjoy family time. Fridays are when I can fall asleep in the hammock or walk Rebel for more than a half mile. Fridays are when I can lounge around and doze off on the couch as the TV plays in the background. Fridays, at 2:30, are when I can begin to reset for the new week ahead.
As with a lot of families, it is that busy time of year. School is wrapping up, sports are becoming the weekend norm and Summer plans are being made. So, I will enjoy the quiet Fridays when I can because they are my favorite!
