Ode to the Weekend....

Oh dear sweet weekend, how fleeting though art...
how I long for you days to extend, and your nights to be endless.
How sweet it tis to pass your days with family, starting with your ALWAYS pleasant FRIDAY night....perhaps your best night, fore Monday is but ages away, and how much fun we had, all three, hiding under the snuggie and getting our hair all full of static....

And then to Saturday morn, when getting out of bed is fun because nothing lies ahead but pajamas, waffles, coffee and old fashioned classic Christmas movies to pass our idle time.
Then the rest of the pleasant day filled with wrapping and organizing and trying to provide a Christmas for a family in need.
And alas, never to forget Saturday afternoon, with the car trip to that notorious BOB'S, what a pleasant store, to sit and test out some new furniture, a couch perhaps? And who knew that the BOB'S had free candy and drinks and treats galore, and a beautful koi pond abundant with fish! A must destination for a restless 16 month old on a cold day. And then, a visit from the beloved Googy and Marmee full of kisses and hugs and presents of course!

But then, oh weekend, on the break of dawn Sunday the wee one wishes to...SLEEP. Yes, believe you me we were all taken aback as his little eyes resisted the daylight as we always dreamed they would, yet a Granny and a Googy were waiting with bells on, as we had a race to get to. So out in the frost, all bundled of course. To Jingle Jog our morn' away. With promises of a feast to fit a king at the diner to follow, all runners were swift, and out of the cold none too soon. To the safety and warmth of our home we retired, to read and play and Crock-A-Stew all day.



And so here we are weekend, on your most dreaded....SUNDAY NIGHT. And what do you give me? A Giant's game to endure.
But our bellies our satisfied and our eyes are heavy, and our schedules are full for the upcoming week, but we are comforted as we go out to seek our fate.









Because we know you'll be back.
