Hooray for Friday!

I've only been back from vacation for less than two weeks, but I can't even tell you how thankful I am for the long weekend and holiday on Monday. While I promise to take a moment to silently acknowledge the purpose for the holiday, I'm not going to lie - this is probably my favorite day off for completely different reasons (selfish reasons). It used to be a day when I had off, but Rob didn't, and I could send my kids to daycare and sit all day and read, or be crafty, in absolute silence. It was glorious. But these days Rob gets the day off as well, and the kids don't go anywhere special when they're out of school, so it's just an extra weekend day that I don't have log vacation for, but also don't have any social obligations (like xmas/new years).
So how am I spending this fantastic long weekend? Well, Rob ordered a new toilet for our bathroom (power assisted flush), and it came in today, so I imagine I'll be a plumbers assistant at some point. I've never seen him this excited about a home improvement/repair project. I guess I would be too if I had to use a plunger every damn day. Anyway... secondly, I've been waiting for this weekend to get my car serviced. I have an appointment for an oil change and an engine light diagnosis on Monday. Lastly, I've been waiting for this weekend to rent a carpet cleaner suck up several years of food, beverages and general grime from my living room. I tried my spot bot on some mud Jake tracked in, and it cleaned a lot better than I expected, and now the target stain is gone, but so is a larger circle of grime that makes it stunningly obvious how filthy the rest of that room is.
Somewhere in there I'm going to play with my new SG kit, due to arrive tomorrow. I'm determined to work that in somehow. But the toilet, the carpet, and car service - do I know how to party or what?
