Age reversals

ok ok i admit it. I am on a strange "age" kick lately. but at least its somewhat amusing right?

apparently i'm not the only one.

not long ago a friend said she couldn't wait, for the weekend ahead.
She craved to be free of her long busy, chaotic workweek, and looked forward to a nice dull weekend of relaxing.

This struck me.

It struck me, because not too long ago , we were all anxious for the workweek to end because it was long and boring, and the weekends were filled with the chaos and craziness that got us through the following week.

oh, when did this reversal take place ?!

I found myself thinking the same way- while taking the kids to thier extra classes 2 days a week, having to return to the school twice a week, trying to cram in homework and dinners, showers and playtime....on top of chores,paperwork...yes. our Nuthouse weeks are full of chaos.

and weekends- aaah. our weekends are full of days at home, no having to rush and run here n there, (unless preplanned) blissful lounging in front of a movie, a day full of board games or silly stories.
on weekends we feel "motivated", its yardwork, at our own pace, as we feel to do so.

yet not long ago, we dredged through school days ,and later to after school jobs, where we hoped the week would just END. ( although, some of us made those after school jobs quite amusing)

it seemed any time that last bell rang, we were out and about and our souls were released for the evening (after homework of course ) to do as we would.

Weekends were the free for alls. off with pals , doing "God only knows what or how we survived it", to return to manday morning at our respectable institutions as zombies.

that was fun!

what the hell happened ???
