Fridays Can Be Fun!

Well, I've been sitting here thinking about what to write... This is a way of journaling in cyberspace, a sort of "cheap therapy", if you will. Then it hit me- it's Friday! Fridays are notorious for many things around our place. For one, it's payday!!! That means grocery shopping after school with the girls. It's fun just taking two of them at a time because it's easier to listen to each of them speaking. On many Fridays, we have a light supper then watch videos. If the kids are careful (and the dog is not in the way or being too pesky), we'll pop popcorn, lay blankets out on the floor, and relax while watching those movies. I like to stretch out on the couch, but I usually end up with at least 2 kids fighting over me and the dog trying to root under the blanket to make his "nest". For a pesky, furry, four-legged varmint, he makes a great heating pad! And truth be told, I don't mind the kids taking up all my extra couch space. It's not often we get to cuddle up during the week.

I'm not sure what movie we'll watch tonight. I didn't go to the video store tonight because we didn't have time. But we have enough movies around here to choose from. Nevermind that we've already seen them 20 times. If I find one engaging enough, the kids will stay quiet and maybe even fall asleep on the floor! Ah, the glorious sound of silence! It's times like these that I really wish Hubby didn't work 2nd shift; I feel like he misses out on these special moments. We miss him.
