I love Saturdays. Not Wednesdays for Fridays like most people, but Saturdays. You see, Saturday is Zach’s last day of the workweek. It’s the day where I’m just about at my whit’s end and need a little help, a spreading of the load…not even a get away break. I forget every Saturday that I’ll feel like this until it happens. Until the moment when I realize that it’s THE day, and there are only 5 more hours until he comes home. It swells up inside me. The kind of feeling you get when you know you get to hang out with your best friend, laugh, and play. The feeling of sharing your kids with someone who loves them just as much as you, even if they truly prefer not to change the poopy diapers and will move the earth to get you to do to it instead. It feels like anticipating a party you’ve been looking forward to for months; and I get to feel it every week. Yes, I’m lucky to have the husband I do and to be in love with him.
Okay, really, I’m just lucky that it’s Saturday and there’s only 4 more hours until he gets home and I can hand the kids off to him…and pour a drink for both of us. Happy Saturday!!!!!

You get to enjoy that wine?
I actually love Mondays, back to a routine. But Thursdays are my favorite day of all because Kelly stays for After-school, which she's crazy for, and I don't have to pick her up until 5:30
I know I'm spoiled. Pleae don't hate me 'coz I'm spoiled .
If I didn't get to enjoy the wine, I certainly wouldn't like Saturdays as much!
I can see why you'd love Thursdays. I want to love Thursdays...
You've got 3 kids. I didn't have the balls for that.
It wasn't the original plan...thus the wine. No really, the littlest one is a breeze. They all are, when they're alone. ha-ha.
I used to feel this way every night when my husband came home to help with the kids, back when they were a newborn and a 2 year old.
Life's easier now. :)
Everyone says it gets easier and I think we finally feel like we see the light at the end of the tunnel. Then again, we won't ever get this back, so it's mixed. For now, I'll keep to my mini celebrations.
