Saturday Mornings, When I Exhale

On Saturday mornings, I usually sleep a little later than I do during the week.  It’s the day that I don’t have to look at the clock and know that I should have gotten up earlier.  I don’t have to rush the kids to school.  I don’t generally have to be anywhere early in the day.
Right or wrong it seems to be a recurring theme that the days of the week influence my mood and general disposition.
Monday mornings, even though I usually don’t get up as early as I would like, I have a lot of energy making it my most productive day of the week.
Tuesday’s I wonder why I don’t have the same level of productivity that I had on Monday. 
Wednesday I tell the kids that it’s hump day and to hang in for two more days of school.  In the back of my mind I’m thinking, “Yeah, but I have to get through today before there are really only two more days in the week."
Thursday I’m thinking one more day and then the weekend. 
Friday I again have energy and a desire for some down time.  I guess I actually start exhaling on Friday afternoon, once I pick our youngest children from school.  Often there are errands to run, but they go quickly with the realization that we are almost finished for the week.
Saturday morning I am so thrilled to not have to rush out of the house.  I am completely free from holding my breath and hoping that I don’t miss something important. 
Sunday, hubby doesn’t have to work and everything feels right in my world.
I’m not sure whether anyone around me senses these things about me, as there is a lot of joy and fun in our lives.  Even though I try to make our life fun and carefree, I feel a very real knowledge that in the back of my mind I am rushing around all week holding my breath waiting for the weekend.
Do Mom’s around the world have these same thoughts?  Do you have negative thoughts invading your life that you either try to work on or just outright ignore? I don’t think it’s so much something I struggle with as much as it’s something that I know is there in the background. 
I’m off to finish enjoying my weekend.  Do the same!
