I am rushing around (in between writing this post), cleaning, doing laundry, and all that fun stuff we love to do.
Now that I have no small kids at home(either they're on their own, or in school, my youngest is almost 9), it's easier to get housework done, as there is no one under foot.
Fridays for me, are a preparation for the weekend. To spend time with my daughter, freely without home stuff to do. Weather its nature walks, or trips to the library. And with the warmer weather coming upon us, who wants to be stuck inside with your child, because you need clean clothes, or need to change a litter box, lol.

At one time, when I had 4 kids living at home, 3 in school, 1 a baby, I dreaded the weekends. It was hectic, noisy, and I pined for Mondays. Not now. I have learned to slow down and enjoy the weekends with my daughter. I guess with time, our routines will change, with the changes in our lives. You just need to find that balance, and do what works for you.
Happy Friday everyone, and have a great weekend! :)

I hate when weekends are taken up by business- chores, whatever. I have three in school , and I feel like the weekdays are so busy, it's hard to make time to just BE with them! I also try to slow down for them on the weekend, to soak them up for a bit while they are home...
