The Weekend

I, like many, live for the weekend.
It's my chance to sleep in, though I never take it. Why would I want to lose time from my day off?
It's my chance to do whatever my little heart desires---after, of course, I catch up on the tail end of my work week.
I can spend time outdoors! (just got my notice that I need to paint the house trim)
I stay up late and watch movies. Last night I made it past opening credits. A couple more nights and I will have an idea of the plot.
Yes, the weekend affords that much needed break that takes an entire weekend to fall into. Monday morning arrives, I take a deep breath, a sigh of relief, and I'm back on track, yearning for the weekend.

I feel the same way! I always feel like I have the whole weekend to spend with my husband and kids, and then we go to the gym and do the laundry and other chores, take naps, and make meals...and then it seems the whole day is gone. Any advice for squeezing in fun things while still making sure the house doesn't fall apart?
