It's FRIDAY!! For some people, it'ts FREEDOM. Last day of the work week. Party!! Payday!! For others, it's THANK GOD because I am tired and the week is over! Let's order take out, rent a movie and pass out! I sent a friend of mine a snap chat recently that it was about to be Friday, they didn't seem to excited! What do the weekends mean for you? Dread it, embrace it, or is it just another day? Normally, Fridays are our REST day because we are all just so done with the week, school, dance, workouts, homework, play dates, capo, etc... BUT this Friday is the LAST DAY of school!!! I am more excited then my girls. They don't want it to be the last day of school, OMG are you KIDDING me?!?! What's wrong with you! As a mom and basically a single mom, that means DANCE is almost DONE! NO more agenda to sign EVERY night! NO more PAPERS to put in recycle bin! NO MORE fighting about putting socks on with tennis shoes (and OMG if you smelled my kids shoes you would BARF!!)! NO more tennis shoes, PRAISE THE LORD!! NO MORE UNIFORMS TO WASH and WEAR!!!! I get to see my beautiful girls in their own style of clothing and not looking like business women!!! (as you can see I am a bit excited about all this!) Also, my check book gets a BREAK! (can I get an AMEN from other mamas out there?!)
So now that school is about to be out our weekends and weekdays will be filled with pool play dates, beaches, Legoland, vacations, and much more. All those things are fun things but can be a nightmare for those training for certain events or trying to stay healthy. LOTS of planning comes in place and of course staying on course. Which is where I fail, the weekends. The last few weekends, I have been good. Skipping eating out (as being the only person who's cooking in the house for us I tend to use the weekend to take off and eat out. No more!), skipping Frozen Yogurt Treats (I have no self control around sugar especially when there is mountains of it!), skipping the wine (not easy when you have a preteen in the house) and been planning out my meals and workouts around our busy weekend schedule. I have found if I plan out my schedule for the week (and weekend) I do better. I am a checklist person. I plan all my meals based on my workouts, play dates, and gatherings. If that means bringing my own food to a party, I do it. Get over what people will say ;) It may seem like a pain but it does get easier as time goes on. I involve the kids too. Don't make it more work then it needs to be. Chicken, apples, veggies and water go a long way. With it being the last day of school, the kids are expecting Frozen Yogurt. Sorry kids, we are hitting the beach instead with a friends. We will play, eat dinner, watch the sunset and laugh! What will you be doing this weekend to stay on track but yet still having fun??
