Doctor Mothers...and Weekend Ideas

Good Morning Moms and Mom-Types. As I was driving to work this morning, I noticed I was on the road with one of my hospital's physicians. This physician is a mother-a working mother. There it was, 6:45a and she, like me, was heading in to work with child(ren) at home. You know, I didn't feel so bad about being a working mother. Yes, I would love to be at home with my son to take him to school, volunteer in his classroom, pick him up from school (not after-care)-the whole nine. But that is not my story at this point in my life. And the truth of the matter, there are all sorts of working mothers. There are Governor moms and Environmental Specialist mothers; Preacher moms and CEO mommies. We leave our children in the hands of their other parent, our families, loved ones, licensed care providers, teachers, etc. So, all will be well until it is as we want it to be.

On a lighter note: IT'S FRIDAY!! What are you weekend plans? Ours will be filled with cleaning rooms, washing the car and vacuuming out the dirty chip crumbed floors, Kinder Basketball (he loves it, he really loves it) and Pop-Warner Football Cheerleading (yes, I got sucked into being a coach again--but I love it!), a kid birthday party and an adult birthday party, and Church worship service and our Sabbath rest).

Spend your weekend doing what it is you want to do and need to do most. Don't fill it with a schedule of events and tasks that mean absolutely nothing to you and your families happiness. Peace is key!

Great ways to spend a weekend:

1. Go the park
2. Bike ride around your neighborhood
3. Bake
4. Clean/Chores in a new and different way
5. Attend a religious service of your Faith Tradition
6. Call someone you've not spoken to in a long time
7. Say "I Love You!"
8. Read a short story
9. Eat ice cream or a snow cone
10. Veg out and just "lay like broccoli"...(line from Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman-lol)
