I love Thursdays. Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday are so full and crazy. But Thursday… my only morning when I have both girls in school and nothing on my schedule. I can be in my home alone. This is something you can not possibly fully appreciate until you have small children. It is a rarity, a treasure to be enjoyed.
I have made a pact with myself that I am not allowed to clean Thursday mornings. No matter how dirty the house is. I will not waste this precious time. Granted, I’m usually found running various errands (alone!) or working at my sewing machine. But its still wonderfully relaxing. No interruptions, no one to take care of…
I won’t have this come April, since I’ll have a new baby. I’ll be back to having children around. All. The. Time. But for now, I can enjoy these 3 wonderful hours without the slightest twinge of guilt.
Heaven.

it’s a wonderful pact…
Thursday is the morning I do clean, (she says as she sits here reading blogs… again…) so rest assured, every Thursday I will be grumbling under my breath while you pamper yourself!
Ooooh, I’m jealous! Good for you for making the no cleaning rule. The good news is that the baby will sleep a lot and not whine and beg for stuff or aggravate the snot out of the girls.
Granted, it’s a short window, but enjoy.
So jealous! I’m glad to hear that you don’t clean cause I wouldn’t either!
