Do I have any right to TGIF?
I know I don’t have a “day job,” and so the idea of a “work week” is therefore “meaningless,” but it is late Friday afternoon and I am feeling the relief that comes with knowing I don’t have to pack myself and Sami off to school tomorrow.
The laundry is all finished, the dishwasher is clean, errands for the weekend have been run, and for the next two days I’ll be flying with a copilot parent.
Yup, that alone makes it all seem more manageable.
In other news, this was the week of creative throw-togethers. Last night’s dinner was spaghetti with veggies and pesto sauce. Pesto from the plethora of frozen Costco jars in our freezer. (For a while they were buried in the back and so every time I went to Costco I’d buy another one because I couldn’t see that we already had a few.) The stuff is pretty rich (270 calories per 1/4 cup serving) so I cut it down by adding a half-cup of it to sauteed onions in olive oil, with salt and a hearty dose of black pepper. The fresh yellow-pear and heirloom tomatoes (from our garden!) offered the extra fluid that took the sauce from being too thick to being just saucy enough for 8 servings of pasta.
Yay leftovers!
Here endeth the scrappy-but delicious week of kitchen creativity.
TGIF, people!

Friday has lots of meaning for me as a SAHM – it means two days of having the whole family home, not just me and Sam. In other words, you TGIF all you want. Also, your dinner sounds delish.

I agree – I think there’s still a HUGE difference for you between weekday and workweek! You have EVERY right to TGIF.
I think as TGIF as a marked changed between weekdays and weekend. You clearly explained your marked changed: chores done, child’s weekday activities makes many of your weekday activities complete, and as the person wrote above –> the whole family is home for the weekend. So yes, you deserve a TGIF and you don’t need to validate it with others. If you feel the relief of Friday, don’t deny it, embrace it!!

Enjoy your weekend!
