Fridays.

Fridays are big days in the Griggs household in the summer/Fall time. Papa comes home on Fridays. The event we all count down to all week long. Papa has been in camp most of the summer now so we all know the drill. Mondays are hard. Everyone has to 'try' something. Tuesdays are better but also normally 'town' days so exhasting. Stuff starts getting done by Wedensday and we are back on track and well tuned. Thursday we seem to get tons done and have a great time doing it. Then comes Friday and we are super excited all day. Finishing weekday projects, making a big supper, getting ready to welcome him home. Saturday we spend together working as a family to get things ready for the next week. Firewood, Bindy's ration/hay, and this summer 5 weddings and a funeral. It's really no wonder we've gotten very little done on the house this summer. Sundays are a day off. We housechurch with 3 other families and potluck afterwards. Then we come home and nap; all 6 of us. Papa to get ready for a new week of working at 4am. We often have a family movie night/snack night Sunday as we are still full from potluck. Or we may go visiting. Then Monday comes and the count down starts again... Til Friday comes around again and the Griggs Family is whole once more. Soon it will be winter and then Papa will change jobs within his job and we will be together again.. even if it's only for a little while.
