hello saturday. i greet you this morning at 6:30am being awakened by my youngest. this is a normal occurrence yet each day i wish it weren't. all of my children have been early risers and even though i've never been able to sleep in past 10, i'd at least like the chance to try.

saturdays are the day of inconsistency in our household. the day for spontaneity. the day for leisure or work. hard core play or hard core boredom. -who am i kidding. with 4 children life is anything but boring. i simply love saturdays for the family jamboree but sometimes i wish there were a bit more order in the shape of our saturdays. perhaps the lack of structure is to help me enjoy the other 6 days of the week for what they are.

what do i have planned for such an overcast day? cleaning. chores. cuddling. perhaps an outing to the movies. an outing to the book store. no matter what this day brings, i plan on spending time with the people my heart belongs to, and that is what makes a saturday wonderful.
