Today is my Friday!
I am pretty happy that today is my Friday. This means that my actual Friday will be spent with my youngest child. I have high hopes for Friday as far as activities go. I am planning on visiting with a friend, working on a sewing project, cleaning, going to the bookstore and *maybe* going swimming. My area is supposed to have a huge heat wave and I am thinking a dip in the pool might be worthwhile.
In order to make sure that I get to do all the things my heart desires I am going to get some of the cleaning done this evening. Dishes are the one thing that always seem to pile up. I find it funny (sort of) that my family will not put dirty dishes into the dishwasher. They save them for me. I remember reading something about how we train people by our actions. I guess at one time I must have complained about how the dishes were being placed in the dishwasher…oops!
Mother’s Day was Sunday and I have a Barnes & Noble gift card I am dying to use. Last I was there I found a great book about quilting. It was better than most I have seen. The book had a very large beginning section about applique. This is something I really want to master. I also found a cute book about pincushions. I love books so I am planning my trip tomorrow when I do not have any kids with me. Barnes & Noble has a Thomas the Train set in the children’s section and my three year old knows where it is. Needless to say, this is the section of the bookstore I spend most of my time in when I go with kids. I usually stock up on interesting books and sit with my son reading while he plays. But…I often feel bad about the pile of reading material I leave behind when it is time to go. Anyhow, I will let you know which books I end up with. Here is to hoping for a sale!
Visiting with my friend is something I truly look forward to. Adult conversation, tea and some cookies is always a good time! If you have kids you probably know what I am talking about.
Hope your Friday is productive! (And much cooler, temperature-wise, than mine!)
