Dear Friday, How I LOVE thee!

I love Fridays! We have been working around the house all week, doing some much needed spring cleaning. Oh, how I have neglected doing the little things! I even cleaned the carpets last night, don’t ask me what has gotten under my skin to make me do it, I’m not even sure myself!!!

I am really looking forward to this weekend. My husband actually has this Saturday off and we are having some friends over for a BBQ that night. It should be fun.

But mostly I am looking forward to my spa day tomorrow. Yes, I am finally going to take some “me” time and use the gift certificate that my husband gave me for my birthday. It should be almost 4 hours of bliss that will begin with a massage, followed up with a facial, a manicure and a pedicure. I. CAN. NOT. WAIT. Seriously....I am so freakin’ excited! I think that all mothers deserve to get to do something like this for themselves every now and then. We all do so much for everyone else and never seem to take time for ourselves. A good example of this is that I got this gift certificate almost 6 months ago and am just finally making the time in my schedule to use it!

So ladies...go out and treat yourself! Whether it be just to get a pedicure, go out to dinner with friends (no husbands or kids allowed), or just to go shopping by yourself, DO IT. You deserve it!

Happy Friday!

I am so glad that it is Friday...this has been a heck of a long week! The first 3 days were spent in Las Vegas celebrating my 10th anniversary with some friends. Let’s just say that this trip was one for the record books! Then back to work I went trying to catch up because I managed to miss some of my busiest days of the entire month...it will probably take me a couple of weeks to catch up on missing just 3 days! I also missed the first day of my last class before graduating from college. Probably not the best way to start class, but for the record I thought that we had a break between classes...that’s what I get for assuming anything!!!

Speaking of school, some AWESOME news came in the mail yesterday...I received a notice from NAU that I would be graduating with honors in May. That’s right kids...I will be graduating with the top of my class with Summa Cum Laude next to my name! What a great feeling that is. These last two years have been hard on me and my family with many late nights of homework, nights in class away from my family, but this makes it all worth it! I have worked so hard for this and have wanted that diploma since I first started college back in 1996, it’s hard to believe that the day is now so very close!

So onto the weekend! Where would I like to be this weekend? In a perfect world I would spend the weekend here, cuddled underneath the covers hiding from everything:

But in my world the reality of the weekend will be spent at soccer, a play with my husband, grocery shopping, doing laundry and working on homework. But, I love my crazy hectic life and wouldn't give it up for anything. Happy Friday!!
