I am exhausted and my butt hurts from sitting all day. But I am sitting at my home computer typing, after I spent the day at work sitting at a computer, typing. But it's different. It's Friday.
On Fridays I can freely surf the web without worrying that any of the sites I might visit will be blocked, as they are at work(the National PTA website is blocked at my work. I work at a school district). I can visit cracked.com and mentalfloss.com and icanhascheezburger and peruse them to my heart's content. I can download porn, if I so choose. It's exhilarating to have all that freedom. I hope all that power doesn't go to my head. On Fridays I can read a book ALL NIGHT long if I want to, like I did when I read Twilight. Like I used to when I was a kid.
When I was in my twenties, Fridays were Girls Night Out. My friends and I would get dressed up and go out dancing. We were all interested in dancing and drinking and having a good time back then. The music was always so loud that you couldn't hear anyone talk, which was great; nobody ever says anything mindshatteringly profound in a club anyway. Nowadays, I much prefer the quiet where I can listen to the sounds of my son sleeping and just be.
If I play my cards right I can get my husband to let me sleep in tomorrow, even if it's only an extra hour.
