it’s Friday……again….

Most people think of Fridays in terms of TGIF.  I do as well but Friday is my self-appointed cleaning day.  Vacuum, mop, dust, clean bathrooms, you know the drill.  This day just seems to work well for me.  The house is clean while everyone is home and I can relax and spend time with my family over the weekend without feeling guilty about the state of the house.

But it always seems to be Friday again…it’s similar to the old adage that time flies.  My daily routine is governed by this rule.  Wake up.  Fix breakfast.  Get dressed.  Blink.  Lunchtime!  Blink.  Snack!  Blink.  “Hey Mom – what’s for dinner?”  Blink.  Bath time.  Blink…….you get the picture.  I feel like I just blinked and discovered that my oldest daughter will be 8 in two days and she now has 2 little sisters.  Where did the last decade go?  Have I accomplished anything noteworthy?  Someone please say yes….

That’s enough for now…I still have to finish vacuuming and mopping, clean the bathrooms and bake Abigail’s birthday cake.  Of course, it’s lunchtime.  Blink…..
