Friday at last! As much as I want to join in the “TGIF!” chorus, the words stick in my throat when I check my calendar.

Tonight, much-looked-forward-to party with dear friends. Saturday, two concurrent indoor soccer games, followed immediately by two concurrent pre-Turnabout dance photo shoots, followed by dinner out with my folks, siblings, spouses, etc. Sunday, ah, a welcomed breather, lots of time for the usual – weekly menu planning, grocery shopping and laundry.

Not to worry. I’m sure Monday will be here before I know it! I can look forward to closing my office door behind me, diving into my work with a hot cup of coffee in hand.

Wait a minute. What’s this? The kids have Monday off…? Never mind. :
