TGIFriday !

Fridays are the days that I usually take the morning a bit slower.  I wake up a little calmer just knowing it is the end of the school week.  If you saw me on Monday morning you would really wonder why there are two mothers living in this house.  Today I am the calm mommy ... or really just a calmer mommy ;)

  • I'm happy to not have to think about dinner tonight ... it's pizza
  • I'm happy not to have to think of helping out with homework ... there's no school tomorrow
  • I'm happy to have my husband come home and just relax ... he is off for 2 days (unless he is doing work via computer)
  • I'm happy to not really have that afternoon rush ... today we will take swim team off (although most Friday's we won't)
  • I'm happy to sit on the couch with my husband tonight ... maybe we will just sit, talk, and have a glass or two of wine ... maybe we will rent a movie ... maybe we will have a date night

Friday's just make me happy!

I think the same thing...I love Fridays because the kids can buy pizza for lunch at school and I don't have to pack lunches in the morning! It makes me a little more relaxed in the morning. I can totally relate to the split personality thing...I turn into the Wicked Witch of the West after 8 p.m. ON THE DOT! I scare myself.

By the way, consider yourself TAGGED! I didn't want to thrust that on anyone...I thought about sending it to you!

Enjoy your calmer Friday, {E}.

I wish we could get on the Friday pizza tradition. For whatever reason, we seem to resort to that mid-week and then I feel like I have to cook dinner on Fridays. Ugh.

You are right. There's a different feeling to Fridays, and it's NICE. Hope you're enjoying your night!

well, I'm reading this on Saturday morning, but I did join you with that glass of wine on the couch last night! It's nice to unwind and relax after a hectic week. I love Fridays for the same reason, especially since my youngest started kindergarten and I really miss all that one on one time we used to have during the week.

Feeling every bit of 46 ... ugh!

When I was 45, I was feeling fabulous.   I was fit, energetic, and I thought I could easily pass for 40;) Age was just a number and I certainly didn't think I felt or looked my true age. Then February 11th came and I turned 46.   I have sciatica on my left side, my left knee is stiff, and I have plantar fasciitis in my right foot.   I've resorted to stretching all the time and popping the occasional anti-inflammatory.   There are dark circles under my eyes that I've had to start putting concealer on.   My hair is growing out from last years 45 year old short hair, but it's just in an awkward stage.  I can't decide if I want to cut it again or let it grow out.   I even thought of styling my hair differently by doing a different hair part.   That was a terrible idea because I was SHOCKED to see how much gray is now growing in the center of my scalp.  I also think my metabolism is slowing down because my mid section seems a little thicker ... ...

"The Loveliness of The Seashore"

What is the "Seashore" like? "Where the sky meets the sea ... The seashore is a place where the sea and the sky are the same smoky gray until ... the morning sun breaks through. The hot noonday sun feels warm as a big soft cat covering you. And it seems there is nothing in the world except the sound of the wind and the rising and falling of waves." Over at Dawn 's there are so many wonderful books suggested on her blog. Earlier this month I couldn't help but to peek at some of them ... thanks Dawn! *The above quote came from The Seashore Book . The ocean moves in and then moves out. This place where water, sky and earth meet is never the same. The tide comes in, the tide goes out, each wave that returns pushes against the incoming swell as it is pulled back into the endless depths and swallowed into the vastness of an unknown deep. Such is each day of our "daily" lives. I grew up enjoying the sights, sound, and the surf of the NY/Jersey "shor...

A scattered post ...

I throw myself into stuff all the time.  It can be anything from the start of a swim season, a new school year, the election, a vacation, an exercise routine etc.  I'm kind of in a phase where I really don't know what my focus should be.  I turned on the television and honestly, I have no idea what is on this fall season ... NO IDEA AT ALL .  If I watched television in the past few months, it was something kid related or Fox News. I NEED A NEW FOCUS. My current thoughts  ... reading a fictional, just for fun book stepping up my exercise routine thinking about our Christmas wish lists and shopping baking more ... I really am slacking in this area ways to save money so that we can get a new (second) washer and dryer for the upstairs (not a fancy kind because this would mostly be used by my oldest two children)... I actually have hookups. I wonder if a lot of people go through a sort of "lull" period this time of the year.  Surely it doesn't last long with the start ...
