It is almost 9:00 am on Monday morning. I am sitting here at the computer in my bathrobe while my little J man is still sawing logs. I am leaving him asleep even though I had planned to go back to the gym. I figure if he is sleeping past 9:00 am he probably really needs the extra sleep!

Monday morning as always are a mixed boat for me. This day has begun well. I was up and going at 4:35 am after pushing the snooze button. The girls picked me up and we attended Zumba. I am still like an elephant with left feet only but I am sweating when we are through--I guess that is worth something!

I have fixed six meals including a lunch for D. I have picked up all laundry and switched and traded three loads--there are only a bazillion left but at least the machines are running!

So--here I sit. So many possibilities, so little time!

*laundry--always, always laundry
*dusting--kids can do later
*bathrooms--kids can do later
*vacuuming--kids
*my photo workshop needs some attention--lots and lots--more than I seem to ever be able to give it.
*pantry--it is getting deep again.
*I really should take the valentine"s day decorations down-and put up some Easter stuff!
*Visiting Teaching

Well, it appears that this will be a busy week as usual. We have lots of spring stuff that needs done. The snow is almost completely gone from my yard and my flower beds. Which makes me want to jump up and down. Then I look at the nastiness left and I am a bit overwhelmed by the amount of cleanup my yard needs. However, I am starting to see little bits of life, I see little green tops of iris that are popping through. I haven't seen my little crocus yet but I expect them any day--they are probably there just hiding underneath last years growth that didn't get cut down!!!

Always so much to do. I think about all the things and get overwhelmed. So, I am going to just keep trying to do something and hope that it is a step in the right direction!

Monday

Monday morning---I am sitting here at the computer in sweaty gym clothes and my foot on ice. It is 10:35 am. There is no noise in my house. No one is asking for food. No one is fighting. My kitchen counters are clean, dishes emptied from the dishwasher. I think that it is close to a miracle! I think that I can almost hear myself think.

Monday

It is Monday---which side of the fence will I be on today? Well, luckily for me, my house is not a total wreck from the weekend so I don't feel as much despair from that. I managed to motivate myself enough to get the little man out of bed and head to the gym as soon as MissE got on the bus. It was almost a miracle , I actually stayed on the elliptical longer than I had planned, long enough that I can honestly consider it a good workout! I was stinky and sweaty-and it felt good!

Perhaps I will finally be able to come out of this deep dark winter that has held my energy hostage for the last 6 months!

Monday

Once again it is Monday. Today I am trying for a love relationship with it.

What's on the agenda?
*Gym
*Attacking Mt. Washmore--it is deep
*Costco run
*new baseball pants
*dental appt. for 4 of us
*first baseball game of the season
*FHE

It doesn't really look like that much however, going to town actually takes almost my entire day. As women throughout time---I need at least six more hours in my day--in the good part of the day, not the middle of the night!

This is going to be a good week! This is going to be a good week! This is going to be a good week!
