Here it is Saturday...



I have come to love and hate Saturdays. Love them because it is my long awaited day off from my work week, and hate them because I am usually alone.
Let me qualify both of those statements!
First. I got a promotion about 2 years ago that gave me a pretty cushy job that is 8-5 M-F. This from my previous position that was sometimes 4 in the morning and sometimes started at 6p and went until 2 in the morning. With working usually all but one weekend in a month with those same crazy hours. However, I could sleep in on the days that I worked late, and I had a day off or sometimes two during the week. This M-F job, it makes it very hard to get anything done. Such as doctor appointments, dentist, getting your car lubed, so on and so forth.
So everything that I used to get done, I now have to plan for a lunch hour, select a place that is close to my work instead of my home and sometimes ask my boss for half a day off to just get normal everyday things done.. That is so frustrating. And plus, you always know that Saturday is your day off, so you have to get everything done that you have not been able to do all week all in one day. Yet it is a day off! Yeah.

Second. As much as I do love to have time for myself, every weekend is too much! Landon has been playing (which he loves heart and soul) so much this year. Last weekend he had off, I think it was the first one since February. And it was over sooo quickly. But we had an excellent time!
Hence my Saturday dilemma

Why don't you come see us some weekend? Once we move into our house, we'll have extra space. We'd love to have you come. And just think...after the rat-race at our house, you'll really enjoy your next quiet weekend. :)
