Weekends are the Busiest.

Weekends used to be my rest.
That was a year ago when my daughter was still in high school. She is a freshman now, and I am the busiest on weekends. 
Since she is staying at the condo and goes home on the weekend when she can.
Why am I busy then?
Of course, I miss my baby girl and try to make the most of the time with her. I usually prepare food and snacks for her to bring with her since her schedule is now much more hectic. Between classes and studying, I know she sometimes doesn’t have the time or energy to cook proper meals. So I make sure she goes back with containers of home-cooked food, fruits, and little snacks she likes.
Aside from cooking, we also try to squeeze in some bonding time. Sometimes we go out to the mall and talk about how her week went. I listen to her stories about school, her classmates, and the new things she’s learning.
Weekends may be busier for me these days, but my heart is always full. Because no matter how grown up she gets, she will always be my baby girl. And it's all worth it if spending my weekends means cooking, preparing things for her, and enjoying our little moments together.

I work from 9pm to 6am or sometimes 12pm to 9 am, depend on client calls.. Since it is a night, i usually use my weekends for sleeping, to make up.

When I was still in partnership with my brother, weekends were the busiest for me and Monday was the time I relax.

I really hope your daughter is doing well in college. I'm glad she gets to come home on the weekends to see you and the rest of the family.
No, my weekends are usually quiet. I spend most of the time talking on myLot or reading books on my phone. Pretty is doing her own things in her bedroom and I only see her when I've cooked our meals or when she needs me to sign her phone receipt for her job.

I'm sure you're happy when the weekend rolls around and you can spend time with your daughter. It's really nice to hear that you have a good relationship. Our kids grow up too fast but they'll always be our babies

Weekends are a little bit slower working on reading emails and completing surveys.
