it's saturday!
i've always loved saturdays even when i used to have to work. the saturday air somehow always smells fresher. perhaps it's a psychological thing. (will ask timster to give me his views on this topic).
so i googled "saturday" and found out some interesting historical facts, the most hilarious being:
In Scandinavian countries, Saturday is called Lördag or Löverdag etc., the name being derived from the old word laugr (hence Icelandic name Laugardagur), meaning bath, thus Lördag equates to bath-day. This is due to the Viking usage of bathing on Saturdays.
(source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saturday)
eeeewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww...i can't imagine the pong before the vikings take their much-needed scrub.
what i would *really* love to do on a saturday is to have the whole day with the hub and kids exclusively. no meddling from "well-meaning" relations who very often want to have a say in how we bring up the kids. i can only keep my fingers crossed whenever the weekend is near that i can spend quality time with my family of 4 with no interruptions. it's on my wish list, though totally beyond my control unless i wage an outright war.
anyway. let's see if my wonderful saturday will be ruined. it's happened so often i'm *almost* immuned to the situation.
i'll leave you with a bon jovi classic, Someday I'll Be a Saturday Night:
