Why does Monday feel like Friday?

It feels like I've been through a week just today. Sadly, when I noticed that my husband was watching a football game, I actually used valuable brain cells to recall whether it was a Thursday night game or a Monday night game. Monday. Bummer. It means I have a whole 'nother Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday to go through.

I'm usually a pretty chipper person, but I'll be honest, even us chipper people get tired every once in a while! I think my issue is that we're sorely lacking in the sleep department in our house. My nine-month old son has been having difficulty sleeping. We think it might be a combination of the cooler whether rolling in causing his room to get cold at night plus teething (which explains the gobs of drool every minute of every hour of every day). It just occurred to me that he might have reached the age where he needs a night light too...

I think I'll try and plug in his night light tonight and see if he stops waking up 4 times every night like he has been the past few nights. I can't go back to that newborn phase of no sleep. It would be horrible to go back to THAT place.


I sure hope this week takes a nice little turn for the better. I could certainly use some reprieve. I wish it was Friday - then there would be hope for a date night or something. Gosh, it's been a while since my husband and I had a date. Like a real date. One that didn't feel rushed because the babysitters/parents had other plans. One where we could actually talk about our relationship and where we're at rather than showing each other pictures of our super cute kid. One where we could hold hands while walking leisurely somewhere. Anywhere really. One that didn't involve us hashing out what had gone wrong during the week. One where we could come away refreshed and reminded of why we chose to spend the rest of our lives together - for better or for worse.

I really need it to be Friday.

I hope I'm not bringing anybody down. Sometimes we have days like this, where things seem a little dim. Fridays bring hope...We could all use a little bit of that!


God made Friday's so we could have hope throughout the week. I'm convinced.

Here's to Hope and Fridays!
