bits + pieces of our week.
and now it's the weekend. it seems like our weekends and our weeks in this house are one in the same. well, to me they are. the kids see the difference. they see no school on saturdays and sundays. they see sleep overs with friends and getting to stay up late on friday and saturday nights. i see most of the same day in and day out. being a mom, a wife, a neighbor, a friend... a blogger. sure, some days i school and others i don't. some days i run errands and others i don't. but for the most part they are all one in the same. aubrey doesn't work a regular nine to five so some days he works and others he doesn't. we don't have a count down to friday at five o'clock. sometimes i miss the weekends. i mean the real, get excited because it's friday, jump up and down weekends that we used to have. most of our days run into one another and sometimes, as embarrassing as it is to admit, i forget which day it is. but most of the time i am thankful. thankful that i get to stay home with my kids every day, thankful that we have the freedom to make our own schedule and thankful that i don't have the dreaded monday blues. that is a perk i suppose.
