During the weekend, I would rather not blow..anything.

Are you doing anything fun this weekend?  When I am asked this question, my first thought is:  "Well, this depends what you think is fun...."  Every Friday, this is a nice question to be asked but depending on who is asking, my expectations are not that high.  I wish I could say that I am jetting off to Vegas, wearing some awesome fake lashes and dancing at the Marquee.  But I don't..because by Friday afternoon, I usually have a list.  I have things to do people!

My weekends are more like playing catch up from the previous week and preparing for the next rather than blowing off steam.  During the weekend, I would rather not blow..anything.  Last weekend, the Wangs went to Maine for an overnight.  My mom prepared a glorious party for a my family but just the overnight threw me off for the next five days.  Regardless of the trip, I will start by packing the girls' stuff and my own.  Ching will put some of his stuff together but I will always double check.  (I did get a early b-day gift from the sarcasm fairy.  While getting some clothes together, Ching complained that he needed new golf shirts.  None of his old ones fit..because "he has become burley."  "Was that girly, Ching?"  Too easy...)  Where ever we are, Rachel doesn't sleep well so the night isn't great.  Then on Sunday, even at 8:00 in the morning, I am itching to leave because what I have to do when I get back home.  The basic tasks are just a few loads of laundry and grocery shopping.  While getting home at 3:00 in the afternoon, the shopping was complete.  The laundry was technically done, folded but not put away.  So all week, I was digging through these three baskets.  (Don't freakin' ask why it couldn't be put away during the week.)  My JCW mojo was so off..I was limping to the end of the week.

What makes a good weekend has nothing to do with "young person ruckus".  I just want the basic tasks done off my list.  I would like to spend time with my girls so I don't just feel like the Wang family maid.  I like to write too..just to get a jump on the blog for the next week.  Perhaps get some rest...and some chardonnay that is painfully cold.
