Monday

I find that Monday's come in two different packages for me. 

Some Monday's I wake up first thing, recharged and with a list of To Do's that fills half a paper.  I then spend the next few hours systematically going down the list and getting things checked off, until something happens to distract me (usually kid related) and nothing else get's accomplished on the list that day.

Other Monday's I have a harder time waking up.  I drag myself out of bed, and do the minimum to get the kids off to school, or whatever else is going on.  Today is one of those such days.  We are on our winter break so we could sleep in a bit.  I had intended to get up early when Rich took off to work and go get a workout in, but a little 5 year old climbed into our bed sometime in the wee hours of the morning and I spent a few hours with her head burried in my back, or her feet pressing against it, or her body hovering very close to my face.  Through this all I was semi-conscious.  Enough to be bothered and roll her over to the middle of the bed, but not enough to physically get up myself and take her back to her bed.

I think that is why I'm dragging this morning.  Luckily my to do list is short for the day.  The most time consuming item on it is the exercise, and I may just have to exercise at home since my babysitter has plans to go hang out with friends for the day.

Oh... have I mentioned how nice it is to have an in home babysitter?  He's not ready to take responsibility for bedtimes yet, so it's only during day time hours that I can leave the kids at home, but it's so nice to be able to run out for an hour or so and get errands done without having to take everyone with me!
