What day is it?

So it took me until 2:30pm to realize that today is not Friday.  Being a stay-at-home-mom really throws my calendar awareness out the window.  I am pretty organized and yet some days I don't even know what day of the week it is!  Today really threw me for a loop, though.  It's amazing how much a creature of habit I am.  K normally goes to preschool on Tuesdays & Thursdays.  Since she's not at school, it doesn't feel like Thursday at all.

I have really come to treasure my Thursdays.  It's almost like a bonus Friday for me.  Everyone loves Friday - it's the end of the work week, most people have fun weekend activities planned, etc.  A lot of people (including me) often use it as an excuse not to cook.  What's for dinner?  Well, it's Friday so that means we go out!  I like Friday as much as the next person - no getting up at 6am for school for two days, hubby is home from work for the weekend, and in the fall weekends mean football!  Thursday is a great day, too, though.  For the last couple of years, hubby and I have made a point to have lunch dates on Thursdays.  Just getting to see him for an hour during the day is a bonus.  Plus, Thursdays are a school day for BOTH of my kids, AND it's payday for hubby.  Not much to complain about.

Today is an exception, though.  K is getting over a stomach bug and I decided to keep her home from school just in case.  Those five and a half preschool hours go by so quickly, yet when we are home even an hour is endless.  Luckily we still had our lunch date to break up the day.

I don't know what I will do next year when both of my kids are in school full time.  Will every day feel like my Thursday or Friday?  One can only hope...
