Still Happy For Fridays

I haven't worked in almost 2 years (since June 2, 2008) and yet I am still happy when Fridays roll around. I really don't know why. Is it because I worked for almost 20 years and it is now a habitual response to get happy on Friday or is it because I get to sleep in because there is no school or homework for the kids? Maybe it is because Todd usually comes home early on Fridays and I get 2 days with him afterwords. I don't really know the reason just that I am always happy that Friday finally got here. I also suffer from what I call my senioritis. Remember in school when summer vacation was rolling around y'all got really restless, couldn't wait for summer to arrive and school to be out? I still get that every year starting about the end of April. When I was working full time I would be so restless, stare out the window and not want to come back after lunch. I always did come back and I always got my work done because I really was a very good employee but God how I wanted to just skip out and head to the beach or up to Baldy to go hiking. I still get that senioritis thing which is my excuse for not finishing painting and being so frustrated with unpacking boxes. It was all fine and dandy when it was cold and rainy to be stuck in the house BUT right now I want to go somewhere, see something or do something. I want that last day of school feeling when anything is possible and you know it is going to be the best summer ever just because its summer.

The Floor is Done




Well after 3 weeks of bitching and cussing, aching backs, knees, arms and hands we finally finished. The floors are done and they look beautiful. No more cement but I think it will take another month to get all of the saw dust swept up. Next I have to finish painting the hallway, the kitchen, laundry, bathrooms, family room and 3 bedrooms and put all of the baseboards back on. That work will mostly be mine since I am in charge of paint and I will let Todd take all of the credit for the floors since he did most of it. Good job honey!!
