Today is Friday. On one hand, thank god! On the other, ohgoodgracious is it Friday already? Like…where did the rest of the week go? Seems to me it was one parenting reaction after another and all of a sudden Hello Weekend! But, having established the fact that it is the weekend, let’s enjoy the fact. The weather is sunshiney and beautiful, a balmy 82 degrees outside all weekend. I will enjoy this weekend!
Let me repeat: I will enjoy this weekend!
I will not linger over the fact that Bee’s hives have come back after teasing me with a 10-hour respite.
I will not hold against Bee-baby her mighty hissy fit over putting on her shoes, or remember how her face fell when she realized she missed breakfast yesterday.
I will not remember that when Bee finally did put on shoes yesterday, the reason one boot kept falling off was because it was her sister’s boot – identical except that it’s two (yep, one, two) sizes bigger. And also the wrong foot.
I will not be mad at myself for forgetting Bee’s medicine for the first time in two weeks – even though it meant I had to drive all the way back home and then all the way to daycare. After all, it was also yesterday and that meant I could grab Bee’s boot and not have to decide whether to let her wear her sister’s wrong-foot shoe all day. AND I made it to work only two minutes late. Go me!
I will not be mad at Bee for throwing up orange soda all over the kitchen floor when I tried to get her to swallow half a zyrtec to see if that would help her hives.
Neither will I sigh too loudly over the fact that as soon as I had mopped up the first mess, Bee dropped her glass of soda all over the same floor. Instead, I will be happy the glass didn’t break and remind myself that mopping builds arm muscles.
Yep. It was a day yesterday. But I choose Friday over being mopey. I choose being a few minutes behind schedule so I could find the Grease soundtrack for the girls. New shiny happy music on a Friday morning? It fixes everything.
Summer lovin’…
having a blast…
It’s Friday. It’s gorgeous outside. Blasts will be made, fun will be had, and damnit – we’re all going to smile or else!

Oh my – do you ever get a break, down time, a respite longer than 10 hours? Here’s to a weekend full of fun.
Love the music selection – good music makes every day better.

Amen. Sometimes days happen. Music fixes everything. =) Happy weekend!

Haha! I love your last paragraph! I wonder what my family’s reaction would be if I said that to them. Probably something like, “go away!”

Wow! I will not be jealous of your weather. Crummy weather- no messes. Guess we can’t have everything! : )
