I love Wednesdays.
When I was working, because we live so far from town, my kids did not get to do much extra-curricular stuff 
...So the WEEK (minute?) that I quit, my daughter started a library club with her friends...they all walk to the library after school to do homework...I pick up and deliver any who need rides home and then my daughter and I head home.
About 8 months ago, DD3(14) and I decided that Wednesday nights were mom and manda nights..
This means...no computer, no phones (a BIG commitment to a 14yo)...
We pick out a show or a DVD...she gets her journal (huge journal writer, writes about any and everything) and we make popcorn and go up to my room...I have a big comfy king size bed with lots of pillows and flannel sheets...and we just have time together...sometimes, she is just in the mood to journal...but
we often end up turning off or ignoring the tv because we get to talking about anything and everything...
It keeps us connected, doesn't cost much (popcorn) and is something we both look forward to. And I have to say, I have noticed a more CONFIDENT and HAPPY young lady this past year---a year when most are stuggling with peer-pressure and identity.
I love Wednesdays!
