TGIF!!

Okay, I love Fridays. I mean seriously. Since I was small, Fridays were always THE day of the week. Before I started school, Fridays meant the last day of work for the week for my mom. That meant that on Saturdays we could go "downtown." Saturdays were days reserved for movies, shopping (even if it was only grocery shopping), and sleeping late. Fridays were the precursor to the weekend; to family and mom time. Fridays meant only ONE MORE DAY at the babysitters. As I got older, Fridays were the last day of school for the week and the start of the weekend. In elementary, it meant playing later outside and in junior high it meant sleep overs and birthday parties. In high school, Fridays signaled that by dark we would be "on the drag" and hanging out with our friends. You know back when you HAD to stay home during the week because it was a "school night." So Friday was our LEGAL day to be out at night. As I got older Friday became PAY DAY!!! And of course still the start of the weekend. Now that I am even older (sigh) Fridays still signal an end of something and the beginning of something better. The end to a week of work and early to bed to get up early for work. Friday in the spring means a WHOLE LOT of students out for sporting events which means smaller classes and less to do because so many students are gone. Many people say that Saturday is their favorite day of the week because they are "off". But I like Fridays the best. Granted I have to work that day but it is the LAST day of the week to work and ANYONE can make it 8 hours. And then when it is over you have the WHOLE weekend to look forward to. I love Fridays!!!
