Hello Friday! They said that it’s not good to wait for Fridays. But well, I always wait for Fridays. I don’t believe that waiting for Friday is bad. Well, if you’re like me who works every day or attending school and, have weekends off (although I work on weekends sometimes too), you surely are waiting for Fridays too. It doesn’t mean you stop living on those other days of the week. You just want the week to be over and get some more rest. Am I right?

I work full time, 8 hours a day. And I have a six-year-old who goes to school every day and together we wake up early in the morning to get ready and walk to school, hoping to be on time and not late. Every morning is quite a challenge for both of us. Having to get up early even if you’re half awake. You just have to do it, otherwise, you mess up the whole day schedule. I always try to leave the house as early as possible but it’s just hard to do. Having a kid who sometimes asks if she could sleep more is hard.

I need to always remind her to not be too slow because time is running and we cannot be late. We walk every day about 3 km, a total of 6km a day for me. Sometimes I can feel my legs sore. I know it is good exercise. For my daughter, I feel sorry for her to have to walk every day to school. But I know it is good for her. Being active and get used to it. Anyway, I really need to start driving school soon. Everything will then be easier, I suppose.

This week has been a tough one. So hard at work, always busy! Not that I am complaining, it just feels like I have the same life as I had before when I was still in school. So stress and busy and no time for anything else. That’s why I wait for weekends because on weekends I can refresh and rest myself to regain energy. Thankfully now it’s Friday. I have so much energy at work but once I finish and we get home I start to feel all the body pains and it’s hard to function.

All I want to do is eat and go to sleep. But of course, I cannot just go to sleep just like that. A lot of things in the house that needs to be done also. (Do I need to start drinking energy drink now?). I know working moms can totally relate. Sometimes I wish I’d stay home and just take care of my kid and not to bother going to work. But this is life now. No room for laziness. I just need endless energy to survive the busy and tiring day. It’s not easy, but keeping the faith here.

So what is it on Friday that I am waiting for? Well, it means that for two mornings, Saturday and Sunday I don’t need to wake up early. I can stay in bed longer even if I am wide awake (hello body clock, waking up early even on weekends), no hurries and just making the day slowly pass without having to worry about anything. I usually do my laundry on weekends and house cleaning. Other than that, if not going anywhere, I am on the sofa and watching movies until I get hungry and eat again.

Oh, I love weekends! If we have a car, I would like our weekends to be spent on a road trip somewhere! Oh, what a dream! For Yanna, she is looking forward to Friday to come for her to be able to play her iPad. She’s not allowed to use iPad on school days and I am so proud of her for following these rules.

How about you, are you waiting for Friday too? If so, for what reason?

Happy weekends friends! Enjoy your weekend. xo,
