the weekend

Why do the days when your kids and hubby have the day off, throw the whole day into a tailspin? Well, I know why they do, but why do they have to?? I look forward to 3 days weekends. An extra day to catch up with other things; more family time. So, we did extra stuff. We went to the Smithsonian Natural History Museum after church on Sunday. It was fabulous; it even had an exhibit on crystals which mesmerized Middle J because that is what she is doing for her Science Fair project. When Sunday night arrived I thought-we don't need to do the pre-week clean-up-we can do it tomorrow. I don't have to get laundry started, I can do that tomorrow...and so on...Come to think of it--what exactly did we do on Saturday?

Well Monday arrived- along with a full-blown sinus cold!! Almost forgot about Little J's swim lessons, remembered Middle J's piano lesson 5 minutes before it started-but we made it on time.(Thank goodness for small towns)! Dinner was late, the kids were crabbier than usual (exhausted from the long weekend), the house was a mess and "mom where are my favorite jeans?" Today is Tuesday, today is Tuesday...I have to keep saying that so I don't forget today's activities--sheesh! Is that the dryer buzzing? Where is the vacuum? Ugh…I have to go buy High School Musical 3 DVD for Middle J(she has been saving her $$ for this beloved day!) before I go pick up Little J. Coffee now please :)
