wasted day
I'll get over it. I'm pretty good about moving on. But since I have this outlet, I just want to throw out there that Saturday is overrated. I always have such high hopes- Kelly is home on Saturday to help and it seems like I should be able to accomplish so much more than usual. At the end of the day though, I still have SO much to do! And I didn't get to do any of the things I WANTED to do having spent the day doing the things I NEEDED to do. Today, we cut Kelly's, Soren's AND Ethan's hair but then the bathroom needed to be cleaned. Today, I washed three loads of laundry but I haven't had time to fold them and there are still clothes falling out of the laundry baskets. Today, I delivered the last primary manual but I didn't get Activity Days organized. Today, I helped Kate with her book report but I didn't get any of my book read. It is almost six o'clock on Saturday night and I feel like I still have as much to do as when I got out of bed at eight o'clock this morning. So, I'm off to get the children bathed- of course, I will then have a new load of towels... oh, the cruel nature of Saturday!

I hear you Jenn. Saturdays are definitely overrated. I always end up feeling out of sorts at the end of the day. It's like there's something I can't quite pin point, but whatever it is it has left me unsatisfied. Perhaps it's because we think it's supposed to be an easier or better day than the rest, but technically it isn't. Anyway, it sounds like you got tons done so even if it wasn't everything, at least it was something. You're still my hero.
Was you, Jill, who just wrote about the weekend not being special anymore, or was it a conversation with another one of you ladies? I can totally relate! I am always thankful for Monday. I can get my house in order (it's always a mess by Sunday--and it was perfect on Saturday. I had it cleaned!) and begin chipping away at the week's To Do list. Weekends are for working people who don't have children!

i'm with you. Saturdays are not all they're cracked up to be. Now that I'm a stay at home mom, I definitely prefer Mondays. Like Amy said, start getting things in order and chipping away at the old to-do list. It's pleasing.
btw Jenn, thanks for not feeling obligated to post every single day. It makes me think I might actually be able to do this sometime, but I don't think I would be able to post every day...
Yes, Jill--too much pressure!
