Weekends are supposed to be restful…
You work all week, some people harder than others of course, and what do we all look forward to? A day off. It doesn’t have to be the weekend if you work retail, but time off is one of the goals we all work towards every day while we slave away over our computers/stoves/desks… you get the idea. Even the stay at home mom or dad looks forward to not being the only one home with the kids during the weekend. Given that, you would assume that the logical thing to do would be to do something relaxing.
Right *snorts* where have you been? Did you actually think that logic had anything to do with the average American’s weekend plans?
It’s a rare weekend that finds me sitting around the house doing something that could even remotely be called relaxing. This weekend was a case in point. Saturday was reserved for the family, which included almost three hours roundtrip… don’t get me wrong, I wouldn’t have changed my plans if I could, I love my family. Even if they are annoying… pigheaded… and exasperatingly old fashioned in a lot of ways. Of course I’m not a minority in this regard. Needless to say however, that took up the majority of Saturday, which is supposed to be the day of relaxation, at least in my house.
