A "normal" weekend!

Weekends are not my favorite part of the week. As those of you who are on my facebook page know, I love Mondays. Excluding Sunday mornings, they are the best part of the week for me. Basically because for years, Leon's work schedule has been working 7p.m.-7 a.m. Friday nights-Sunday nights. Earlier last year he got switched to Monday nights instead of Friday nights, which was nice because it at least gave us Friday evening-Saturday afternoon free. By Sunday night, the kids are usually climbing the walls, and terribly hyper, & I'm about climbing the walls because I'm the only one here to deal with them!
Currently, the plant he works with, like many other places is doing lay-off's and cutting hours, so we haven't known what to expect for sure, but last week got the notice that he would be switched from weekend hours to weekdays, 2nd shift (3p.m.-11p.m.)
Since we were expecting company for the weekend, this was especially good news, as it meant he could spend time with them/us without cheating himself out of sleep!
At this time we don't know yet whether it will be a 4 or 5 day week, but we're glad for a job. We also don't know how it's going to work with his installation job schedules, but I'm sure we'll manage to juggle things somehow. We're just thankful for work in this present economic situation!
So, not only did we get to experience a "normal" weekend, like "normal" people (lol!) we actually had company for the weekend. Now, understand, we do have occasional company. But, seriously occasional. EXCEPT for a fairly steady stream of boys, boy-friends, and a few girls! But, this was a family! Adults!! Wow! and the kids had a blast! We had a great time, and hopefully this will only be the beginning of more company. (come see us!)
Now I don't really expect to love Monday's any less, but maybe I can enjoy weekends more!
