F R I D A Y is coming!

Does anyone else really look forward to the weekend? Oh c'mon now, I know they do. Usually at least once a week if not more, I see it mentioned on other people's Facebook statuses that they are working for the weekend or that it is almost here.
Well, it's not just them...I am too!
The weekend gives us a break from school, a break from daily routine, and every now and then some rest and fun.
I hate that nagging to-do list that has been slow to diminish this week. It's not for lack of trying. Yesterday, I said I was going to clean upstairs. Well, Josh got home from his work meeting and then he began putting baseboards back up in the kitchen. That necessitated me with a can of paint--painting.
The upstairs floors did not get cleaned, but the baseboards are back in place and looking great.
Never fear, the floors that needed cleaned yesterday are waiting for me to clean them today. They certainly did not disappear.
Even though I look forward to the weekend for some rest (maybe) and fun, I'm thankful for the blessings of the week. My children are happy and healthy, I have a wonderful, loving sweetie-pie, we have a sweet kitty, and God supplies our needs and so many of our wants!
I think one of the things where reality always hits me is when I read a couple of blogs or a caring bridge site and I see the struggle that some go through each and every day because they have a little one fighting cancer or the struggle of someone with 13 children to care for in a place like Uganda. It hits me in the gut to know all of the things I have to be thankful for...which are many! It also reminds me to pray for them.
and again...yay for Friday!
