Friday Yippee

Friday can easily be my happiest day of the week. It marks the end of a working week and even though I am at home it's nice to know most mundane tasks of the week are at an end.
The trick with ending your week on a Friday as the Domestic Goddess is to think of it as a "normal" working week.
Being at home, cooking, cleaning, ironing and tending children can give you joy but can also make you unhappy. Especially if there is no appreciation for the tasks so lovingly done and then undone by ungrateful families.
Or even when friends take advantage of the fact that your at home and think you have nothing better to do than tend to tasks they don't have time for.

But don't despair it's easy to fall into that trap. Just pull yourself out, stand up, dust yourself off and start again. Explain to those you love ( and maybe those you don't) that you do what you do because you love and respect them. They need to do the same for you so keeping the place tidy and ensuring tasks are done on time will help you. And they will keep you calm therefore always having that family in your favour. They will soon come to understand that in doing this they are hugely rewarded with home baked treats, favourite meals and other little things that make their lives easier.

So getting back to Friday!!!! Yay! Getting all of your work done during the week and doing those final touches on a Friday leaves you free to enjoy your weekend ( now unlike the working mother unfortunately she will have to come home from work after a long week and tend to these things on her weekend) But not you Goddess! You my dear have the time now to enjoy a coffee with a friend, dinner with your husband ( DATES WITH YOUR PARTNER IS AN ALL IMPORTANT THING) play time with the kids and special "ME" time that will both keep you happy and refresh you ready for the next week.

I intend this weekend to treat my family to a group session of Transformers 2 at the local cinema and a nice roast on Sunday the rest of the time is all mine :)

So go on ladies, put away the last of your ironing, tidy that bench top, load that last bit of whites in the machine and go and sit down to a nice cup of earl grey. I am sure by the end of today you will be ready for the weekend.

BRING IT ON!!!
