Sundays...........

Sunday nights....

Today my final child made a comment to me about Sundays.........

"Sundays are my least favorite days" shared my final child.  

I asked her why that was so.  

She explained, "Because Sundays mean that tomorrow I will have to go to school!"

Do you remember this feeling?  I do.  I even remember sharing those exact sentiments many eons ago, when I was a career girl.  Sundays, to me, were so sad.  I remember being out on Sundays, at the beach, shopping or going for a run, and it seemed as if Sundays were meant for families.  Everywhere I went were families and couples.  I felt like I had to be the only single person on the planet on Sundays.  It felt lonely.  The going to work the next day wasn't a terrible thought, in fact, I almost looked forward to it.  But it was the loneliness that made Sundays so awful.

Now that I have a family of my own, I love Fridays!!!  Fridays are my favorite weekdays!!

Not because we have fab plans or extravagant dinner parties to attend.  Nope, its because I get to be with my family, anywhere, for the next 2 days!!!  I don't care what we do.  We can stay in our p.j.s all day, grab some sandwiches somewhere, come home and watch a movie, or just do mundane jobs around the house.  There isn't anything I'd rather do than just be home with my family.  

And because Sundays are still part of the weekend......I can now enjoy those, too!!  Because I am with my family!!!

I am so grateful that I can enjoy Sundays.....

And that I have a family of my own....

and Sundays....

are our days......
