So very grateful today is Friday!

I am absolutely grateful that today is Friday...more grateful than I can really put into words.  This evening, Robert has two hours of swim practice and Catherine has pep band for the basketball game.  Andrew is having dinner with a friend and then hanging out at the game.  Thomas and I are just going to hang out at home and do our thing.  I think we can even have some fast food for dinner.  Everyone should be home by 9:30, 10:00 at the absolute latest, and then I can go to bed.  I can even sleep eleven hours if I want to.  I know that I am unlikely to do that, but I truly can't put into words how tired I feel these days.  The 5:00 A.M. wake up call has been rough all year, but then having to be at work by 7:00 on most days just adds onto it.  I know that Thomas misses being able to play basketball or have art classes, but we are all grateful for the opportunity to sleep in on Saturdays.  In fact, I might even be able to take a nap this afternoon!
