Weekends Aren't What They Used To Be

Now that I have a kid, weekends aren't what they used to be. 

When I was in college, the only day that wasn't the weekend was Tuesday. We partied often, but even in college, Friday and Saturday had a magic all their own. Friday nights started at 9:00. They went until at least 2:00. Saturdays, especially in the fall, started with pre-game  parties as early as 8:00. There was almost always a nap. Then the party would pick back up until the bars closed  

After college, weekends actually became two (okay, maybe three) days long. Evenings started earlier. Nights ended a bit sooner. The partying remained vigilant, though.  

Now, Fridays start at 5:30. I'm lucky if they last until 10:00. Saturdays are devoted to getting as much done around the house as possible, often rendering the evening short too. Sundays you try to get as much done that got left over from Saturday. Unless it is football season. Then I watch football for as long as possible. 

Tonight is no different. Happy Friday everyone!  I'm heading to bed.
