Aw. Sunday. A day to sleep in and rest... For most people anyway. Unfortunately that rule does not apply in this household. Instead, I was awakened at 5:30 am by Little A climbing onto the couch to sleep with me. Yes, I fell asleep on the couch last night. It was just as well, because my bed is covered in laundry. Anyway, she tossed and turned for a bit and kept me awake, so I sent her back to her own bed... By 7:00 am D woke me back up by talking right into my ear... "Mom, can I get onto the computer?!?" Not a pleasent way to be awakened. Of course I said "NO! Go back to bed!" Thirty minutes later they were all up rustling around in their rooms... Then the phone started ringing... I gave up about 8am and grudgingly got up. Of course, I had forgotten to buy coffee yesterday when I stopped into the store after work.... This did not make me happy. I tried to drink two cups of hot tea, but that did not do the trick, so, finally, I loaded up the kids and went up to the corner gas station to get a cup. Now it is 11am and I am just now coming out of my "coma."
Today is an absolutely beautiful day! I am going to spend it outside getting my yard back in line. I have let it go ALL winter and it looks like a trash pit. I'm sure my neighbors wonder what happened to me. I used to have, in my opinion, the best yard in the neighborhood... But those days are long gone. I've let it all go to Hell. I have got to change that now. I am over looking at the mess. I want my pretty yard back. I want to start planning my garden. I want to actually have a decent garden this year. Last year, I tried, but I had no follow-through. This year I have to really plan properly and keep up with it. This year will be different. I had dinner with my friend Kim last night. She had told me at New Years that she intended to make this year her year. Last night she said things were really looking up. She looked much happier. I just looked tired. Well, the holidays and birthdays are behind me for a while, so now I can focus a bit more on making myself happier. The first step is to get my surroundings in order. Yes, today is going to be the day I start! I can't wait to make a dent in it. The good thing about having more days off this month is that I will have time to really get things in order. Of course I will be lacking money, but I will make due with what I have and and start pinching some pennies. If I focus on cleaning, organizing, and yard work, I can really use this time off to get some things accomplished. Yep. That is my plan. Okay, Ready, Set, GO..... :)
