I never thought I could look forward to a Friday like nowadays.  Well, even before, Fridays were deemed as that last day of holding your breath before the fun and relaxing starts with the weekend.  In Israel, I deem it much bigger than that.

Fridays are the only days that parents get to do things without getting interrupted or disturbed because the kids are in the day care (for babies and toddlers)  or school (for older kids).  Errands can be done faster and more efficiently like going to the grocery or market, shopping or cleaning the house, cooking, doing the laundry and taking care of the car.  It is also a day that they get to pamper themselves…having breakfast leisurely, sitting and talking with no care for time passing by, watching a movie or just hanging out together.

More importantly, it is the day of "love"….finally we do not need to wait till everyone is asleep, no need to rush into things before someone starts to wake up, no need to lock the doors, no need to be QUIET!!!! Ahhhhh…the freedom of being alone together once more just like how it was when we were younger.

STOP!!! Well, not likely though….with age, two kids and less practice, we find ourselves enjoying more just laying in bed in a tight embrace…with or without making love and it's just heaven!
