Everyone seems to have a favorite day of the week. I have always like Friday and Saturday's myself. I had a time where I love either Wednesdays or Thursdays (funny it has been so long I don't remember which day it was now) cause it was payday and I would go get Randy's check from him and we would go out to lunch together. Usually to our favorite place in Chalmette and I would either get a shrimp poboy or a shrimp and oyster poboy. Yummy! Just remembering it makes my mouth water!!! Anyways, I have always like Fridays because it is the end of the week and beginning of the weekend. Saturdays because Randy and I would usually take the kiddos shopping or just hang out together. Never been a fan of Sundays though. In fact I liked Sundays even less than Mondays because it was like a black cloud over the day that said, "Uh, oh, enjoy it now but tomorrow is MONDAY!" I especially didn't like Sundays if Randy had to work on the Saturday before because it was like cramming everything into one day.
As I have gotten older I am learning to enjoy each day though. I like Mondays now (although it is still hard to get up so early, lol). The kiddos are off to school and the week starts off fresh and Eli and I start a new week and I get to start cleaning up from the weekend. Not a bad way to start the week. Oh and if it isn't reruns Monday night TV is pretty good!!! lol The bad thing about Monday is Randy is up and gone and we don't see him unless we stay up until midnight (which I don't since I get up at 5 a.m.).
I like Tuesdays too. Nothing spectacular happens on Tuesdays. Busy afternoon though with grabbing Hanni from the bus, dashing Eli to choir, and picking up Maryjo. Then going back to the church to get kiddos. We usually do pizza night though on Tuesdays so nobody has to cook!! Not a bad day! And I get to see Randy for about an hour midday!
Wednesdays are so so. Much like Mondays, don't get to see Randy. :( TV is good on Wednesdays but hopefully by the end of the day on Wednesday my house is clean and laundry is done. Ok, so it doesn't usually happen quite that way but usually it is pretty close!! I do like Wednesday ok.
Thursday, Thursday, Thursday! Why must you tease me so? So close to Friday but so far away. Thursdays are actually pretty good though. I personally like Thursdays. I try to get things done that need to be done before the weekend. Eli and I are finish up weekly things on Thursdays so on Fridays we don't have as much to do. If there is time we do a little shopping before the girls all get home from school. And, it is still a school night so everyone has to get to bed at a certain time so mommy may have some mommy time if I am not too tired!! Yup, I kinda like Thursday!!
Of course, I love Fridays!!! Eli and I don't have as much school work to do if he has work well all week. Randy doesn't have school in the morning so we usually get to spend time with him once he wakes up. If I need to do shopping I do that. If I need to do laundry or cleaning I get that done or if I just want to laze around for a little while, I can! I love Friday mornings. Then my girls come home for the weekend!! First, Hanni off the bus! Then I have to do the car pick up which after that we are all off for the weekend!! Love Fridays!!!
Saturdays are also great! Kiddos are home. I pray they all sleep in, whether I sleep in or not, just to give me that little bit of "me" time. I also hope Randy doesn't have to work but if he does it is usually not until later so we get a little time with him. On Saturday afternoons, if I haven't hit Publix and they have a good sale I go there with Hanni, usually. Or we just find something else to do even if we just hang at the house and watch movies or do nothing. Saturday is the day though that people can do their own thing.
Sunday is fast becoming my favorite day!!! We go to church. Then we will either go out to eat as a family or come home and eat. But, Sunday is FAMILY DAY!!! I love it! The kids can have friends over but they have to be here on Sundays. With the weather being so nice this past few Sundays we have enjoyed family day outside. We even opened the grill last night for some salmon! We came up with this because our family is pretty big and we all have our own things going on and sometimes it is just nice to be a family! Plus, Sundays is Randy's only time he is almost always home so he can enjoy his family too. There will be exceptions to the family day rule here and there but for the most part it is going to be pretty strict. I think we are all enjoying it and are all glad it is there and don't really look at it as a rule but as a way of life. And that is what it should be! Like I have said Sundays are fast becoming my favorite day and that black cloud isn't so black anymore and although I truly love everyday God has blessed me with I love the days I can spend with my family the most!!!
