Hello Monday

Well, Hello Monday? How've you been? Been awhile since I've seen you. I mean yes, I have know intellectually that there have been 2 Mondays since vacation started, but sleeping in, and hanging out at home with my wonderful family hasn't really felt like Monday ;)

In any event... I have finally done what I told myself I would do since both kids started school in September. I took them to the bus stop, and after they got picked up, I went for a walk. And not just back to the house to enjoy a 2nd cup of coffee in peace. I went for about 1-1/2 km. And I really enjoyed that. It was an Alicia Keys kinda morning, slow and soulful. Although I walked fast. I was home again less than 1/2 hour. I hope to do this most mornings when they both go, which is every other day.

I am off to do some volunteering this morning, but hope to get the doggie out for a little walk after lunch, still struggling to gain control over her, to make walking long distances enjoyable. She is still in the goofy yellow lab puppy stage even though she will be 2 this month. She is a gentle and loving dog, but getting out for a walk makes her turn into a close resemblance to Marley from Marley and Me. She is getting better, and I have decided that my best bet is to take her on shorter walks more often.

Have a great Monday everybody, and remember, Mondays are horrible for a good reason. Sure it is not fun to have to get up, and rush off to school, work, etc. BUT all those things are good... and we should be thankful for jobs, kids, and housework.
