(My apologies for a lack of blog on Friday..friends Gina G and Meagan P took advantage and wined and dined me..thank you!)
Today is Saturday, it's 4:00 and I just shotgunned a Diet Coke to give me a mid-afternoon jolt. It is freakin' Saturday!! What the hell is wrong with me? While it is the weekend, I know I should relax and enjoy the time with the girls (and, yeah, Ching).
It is that freakin' God awful list of things to do. I am always looking at the dry erase board..at my list of fun. I fill it with awesome tasks of folding five loads, grocery shopping, cleaning out the fridge and perhaps a trip to Target. I am sure there are some bonus rounds of crap.. Perhaps, I shouldn't say crap since the tasks are for my family. I love my family..doesn't every family have these tasks? Seems like everyone else are doing fun things..(I know the single and childless are)..
All during the work week, I wait for the weekend. Count down every day.. I don't know if it is the mild hope of relaxation or the fact that I don't need to put on anything with the Brooks Brothers logo. Granted I don't have to get up at 5:30 to make those lunches for the girls. (You know how previously I have talked about winning the lottery and wanting a driver? With the driver, I want a kid lunch maker, a hair dresser for a good blow out and aesthetician to wax me seal smooth..)
I have a dear friend, Sue, and as a child, she had to spend every Saturday and Sunday at the Hall to worship the King Jehovah. According to her she was just waiting...with hard seats and weird smelling bathrooms. She has told me her story and I don't think of the obvious. The obvious is, "Holy Fudge Sue..you didn't have childhood of lessons, play dates and cartoons?" My mind is thinking something else..How did you mom do the laundry, food shop, etc? When did your mom do all those things?
Aren't all moms like this? Do they face late Sunday afternoon with a "crap, I didn't get that done!!" On Saturday, I didn't think that the cars needed to be cleaned out..but Sunday at 4:00..God damn it!
If you know a better way..please fill me in...
