There is always something else to be done, folding the laundry, paying bills, or returning phone calls to friends or family. My husband is always telling me to sit down and relax, he actually refers to most of my house cleaning as make work. I think this has something to do with his Men are from the Asteroid Belt, and Women are from Venus theory, but I won't get into that now. My next glance at the clock tells me its almost midnight, although the weariness in my bones should have alerted my sleep deprived brain. I look forward to the weekends - two days off from work, time to rest, relax and spend with my family.
Weekends are for running errands, shopping and family gatherings or outings.
My four year old daughter actually likes to going shopping which my husband claims is my only true hobby. She will also suggest the stores we should go to and what we should buy. Is this her way of telling me that we are having quality time. Somehow I don't feel that this is quality time spent with her, but, if nothing else, she is learning the fine art of shopping. Of course, this is but a statement of fact, not a complaint.
