The weekend is here.

Well Friday is here and that means some great things are here as well.

1. It is a great college football weekend (go Buff's)
2. The possibility of sleeping in on Saturday (I said it was a possibility not a probability)
3. My Upward Soccer team plays tomorrow (can you say total domination)
4. Lunch today with Meagan (Gretchen is in Texas, so it is just me and Meg until the girls get home)
5. Chores (get to vs. got to)
6. NFL (The Broncos are going to destroy the dreaded Chiefs on Sunday)
7. Sunday is almost here (weekly family reunion)

have to vs. get to - a perspective on doing chores

Do I have to do my chores today? Every parent has heard these words uttered by their children (of course there are some adults who feel the same way). Not me, I enjoy getting to do my chores. Today was my chore day around the house. I got to wash both cars then I got to do some minor car maintenance (top off fluids, change oil and filter, install new air filter) then I got to mow the yard. Notice the subtle difference between the two. To me, I enjoy these things I GET to do. To me those things are therapeutic (call me weird). Of course don't think that there are things (chores) that I feel like I have to do. I think a great daily goal would be to look at everything in life as things we get to do!

Just a little random thought.
