Weekend blues
As a SAHM I don't get the day off b/c its Saturday. In fact I hate Saturdays. The park is crowded, DH could be home but he goes fishing, the roads are filled with other drivers, its just not fun. I remember before I had kids I loved Saturday. Even if I had to work, Saturday was my favorite day of all. Its funny how life changes. I never thought my life would change so drastic when I had kids. Yesterday I was asked what is a necessary luxury for me? Before I had kids I had a ton. I always had to have my nails and pedicures, I always had to go tan (even if it was an airbrush tan for a quick tan), always had my hair done, always always needed my expensive clothes and makeup. But now that I have kids I don't see a point. I don't have the time to go get my nails done, or get a tan, I don't have the energy to get up and spend 2 hours doing my hair and makeup. So if I cant do that then why do I need the expensive clothes? Saturdays use to be my day to do all that. I would get up and go work out come home shower go tan then get my nails done and then go shop. Now I'm lucky if I get out of my Pajamas. I get up do laundry all day clean the floors, scrub the toilets, change diapers, the closest I get to having my hair done is getting it ripped out by the boys. So while I listen to everyone else get excited about the upcoming weekend all I do is sigh and think "oh great Saturday"

ugh Colleen....I am sorry that Saturday is such a hard day for you. Sounds like you need a little break. Sometimes I think working outside the home...then coming home to take care of all the household chores and try to cram a weeks worth of Quality time with your child in....is harder than being a SAHM, but I certainly know that they both have different challenges. During the summer, I am a SAHM. So I have done both....they both have some amazing challenges.
Hugs to you!
Hugs Colleen! I know exactly how you feel! My day is Sunday. We rush and rush around on Sat trying to get everything done while Joe is home but never just get to relax and enjoy the day and do the fun activities around town and Sun I am always by myself (cleaning) since Joe goes back to work. It really stinks. I really feel you on needing a day off!
