TGIF

Today has seemed incredibly long.  I hate that Allie has piano lessons at 6:45 in the morning.  I woke up with a headache and it hasn't really ever gone away today.  It's not even 8:00 on a Friday night and I am ready for bed.  I have spent my day today preparing for our trip to Disney World next week, working on kids science fair projects, doing dishes, making dinner and all the other various mom things on my to-do list.  I have four loads of laundry sitting in my bedroom that I should really fold before I go to sleep, but it's not going to happen.  My pillow is beckoning, and for once, I don't have to run around later this evening collecting kids from friends' homes.  We are all here; kind of doing our own things, but together nonetheless.  Does that make any sense?  I am grateful for nights like tonight.  I am grateful for comfy pajamas and warm socks and dogs that like to snuggle.  I am grateful for Tylenol and the relief it will offer my headache shortly.  I am glad we are all home together and that tomorrow is a new day.  I have to clean bathrooms, which is not my favorite, but I will survive and maybe even get the laundry folded.
