We Don’t Use Many Bowls on the Weekends… 2009-08-08T19:36:00-06:00 Katrina

As I loaded the dishwasher yesterday after lunch, I realized something that only someone who loads and unloads the dishwasher quite often would realize: The side that holds our bowls looked empty compared to the side that holds our plates, when usually the opposite is true. This got me to thinking about why we use so few bowls on the weekends, and the answer is that rather than eating cereal or oatmeal for breakfast, we’re usually eating something much more exciting. Like pancakes, or bagels, or eggs with toast…Yum 🙂

This points to one of the reasons that I love weekends – they are a change from the daily weekday routine, a time for our family to do things that we don’t usually get to do. This diversity is energizing for me – by the time the weekend is over, I usually feel ready to return to the normal routine that Monday will bring – and it is also motivating – if I’m having a really rough Wednesday, at least there’s always Saturday morning to look forward to!

I hope that all of you had a great weekend, and that you’re feeling ready to start the week. Here in our home, we’ve gotten off to a bit of a rough start – the kids seem to have woken up on the “wrong” side of the bed and we’re all a bit cranky, but I’m hopeful that a purposefully cheerful mommy will go a long way towards getting the day back on track. We can always hope 🙂

Mary, Mother most amiable, pray for us!
