Friday

Friday morning - and I was awake just as it started to get light. Well, half-awake. Knowing it was still early I had the pleasure of lying in bed with my eyes closed and luxuriating in the feeling of Friday. No more alarm clock (for the next 2 days), no more rushing to get to work or get the kid up (and make sure he has a packed snack, baths, dresses, eats, brushes his teeth and runs down the hill before the bell tolls).

It's like waking up on the last day of school before holidays, when you know you have a mere few hours left until Freedom! Except that I get this every single week.

Yup, I definitely like Fridays. Even if they usually mean a very rushed and busy morning at work. Why only morning? Because - and this is another really big plus - my workplace shuts down completely at 1:00 every Friday afternoon for the weekend! :-) Lucky, aren't we?

That said though, let me get through the pile of things on the desk so I can spend the last bit of the morning winding down, not up. And then on to a gloriously nearly-blank weekend.
