What Did You Do This Week?

As we age we measure and describe how we spent our week differently.

The teenager, "Huh?  Uh.  School."  That's it, just a few words sums up the week.

The university student, "I had a two killer exams, but I went to the bar Thursday night.  It was wild.  I felt so bad the next day, but we went out for breakfast and ate greasy eggs.  Then we went out the next night, but didn't drink as much because I was saving myself for Saturday night."  The success of the week is measured in bottles, shots, and severity of hangovers.

The working twenty-something, "I travelled for work a few days.  Friday night I went out for dinner with friends and Saturday I shopped.  I got a new pair of shoes and really great jeans."  The week is all about me, my social life and self-indulgence.

The mom, "Nobody was sick this week.  We had four poops in the potty and only two in diapers.  We had swimming lessons, soccer and a school recital.  We spent hours Wednesday night doing homework.  Oh, and Friday we were so tired that everyone was asleep by 8:30 including me."  The week is measured in poop, tears, car pooling, homework, who-hit-who and everything else kid.

Who has time for self-indulgence?  Not me, but I think I'm going to try and get some.  Does anyone know where they sell it?

Edit Note:  I wrote this a few days ago, but I'm posting today after having been out to a Stag and Doe until 2 am last night.  Self-indulgence isn't all its cracked up to be...at least when it resembles that of the activities of a young twenty-something.  Need more sleep, but most now retrieve my children.  Sure to be a long day!
