Situation Friday

Source

Does anyone even read this blog on a Friday?  Please speak up if you do.*  Makes me feel less like I’m senselessly pouring my heart out into dead silence, which can never be a bad thing, right?

In any case, it is Friday. Since I don’t ever leave my house, the day of the week shouldn’t make much difference, should it?  But it does.  Oh, it does.

Fridays are a funny thing. You see there is a certain element of promise. Of hope. Maybe this will be the weekend I get my Christmas decorations schooled. Maybe I can finally blast that nasty ambiguous fish smell from my fridge!

Or maybe it will be something far less ambitious. Maybe I will get that dishwasher run and emptied. Maybe I can actually get that friend called back after 3 weeks? (Yes, worst friend EVER alert)

And then there are always the glamorous hopes. A bath?  It could happen. Naps? I have heard rumors of such things.

While about zero to none of these things ever come to pass, I will never get tired of my Friday dreams.  There is a lightness in the air, as I grumble a little less about having to do the 180,000th preschool run, fly through stashing laundry away a little quicker, and top off the wine glass a little higher.  It’s just a good day.

My husband and I usually do something crazy to celebrate, like watching a full episode of Parenthood or something fantastic.  It gets wild up in here, people.

Whatever you do blast off the kickstart of the weekend, know that I’m right here, raising my glass with you.  May your weekend be full of good things.  Wait, you have kids?  Okay, may somehow you find one magical moment of something good somewhere in your weekend and know that this Mom of the Year is happy dancing right along with you whenever it comes your way.

Cheers to the weekend, cheers to you, dear readers, and Happy Friday! GO GET ‘EM!
