It's Friday! It's Friday.

I used to get so excited when Friday came.  I was gleeful!!!  That was then.  This is now.  Friday seems like just about every other day of the week.  I get up, have my coffee.  Browse the internet.  Shower.  Get dressed for the day.  Nothing.

Really, this is sort of how it goes.  But today was different.  I bounced out of bed.  Guzzled my coffee as quickly as I could.  Jumped in the shower in record time.  Only dried my hair half-way.  Rush, rush, rush.  All of this, just so I could make it to a doctor appointment with Elisabeth at 11:00 a.m.  Pathetic.

It was all worth it.  When I got home, Ethan was here.  I know now, why we go through menopause.  At some point, you are just too old to keep up with your children.  That is when you have grandchildren.  You are absolutely exhausted at the end of the day.  And you say good-bye to them-tearfully, but joyfully.
