Dear Working Parent,
It’s Friday and you can almost taste the weekend!
You can feel the weeks toll on your children, they woke up a little more tired and drug their feet to the car a little more than usual. Your daughter tells you at the last minute that the money for the field trip is due today and you just remembered you said you would make your brownie dessert for taco night….. sound familiar?
You have every excuse in the world to let this dictate how your day goes, but you can choose to run the day or let it run you!
I changed my perception and now I think of Fridays as a launching point, a launching point into the weekend! I know that today will set the tone for my weekend!
So I make sure to greet my kids with excitement when they wake up. I tell them our weekend plans and that they are going to kill it at school today.
Then I go into my work day on fire! I go in with the mindset of “I am going to be so productive today that I will get through every task ahead of me, that way I don’t have to think about that email I didn’t send or that project I didn’t complete”.
I make sure to slow down and really see my husband, to listen when he speaks, and really enjoy his presence.
By the end of the day my mind and heart are ready for the reset the weekend brings to an often go-go-go brain!
So Working Parent, You made it! It’s Friday, it’s Cinco De Mayo! Enjoy a margarita, and bring on the weekend! #Cheers! 🌮🍹
