A few years ago my weekend plans would have included the local farmer's market, brunch with a girlfriend, laying by a pool with a cocktail (or 3), some retail therapy, and maybe a nice dinner out or a movie. Despite my grandiose expectations, my weekends as a mom are a balancing act of Thing 1's gymnastics schedule, making sure everyone has clean clothes by Monday and I consider it a true accomplishment if we get one family activity in, like going to an indoor rock climbing gym, or getting a bike ride in before it hits 2,000ยบ.
And I put a gold star on my toothbrush chart if I feed my family at least one meal that doesn't come from a box, or includes sliced bread.

I don't want to jinx anything, but it is monsoon season here in the desert, so maybe we'll get to do this again...

But lets face it, between my teething 5 month old and my moody 7 year old, if I'm REALLY lucky, this will be the high point of my weekend....
Whether your next couple of days are jam-packed with activities, or none at all, I hope you have an awesome weekend.
