A New Week

Well, is Monday any better? Yes, on this end. I slept well last night (no alcohol, 1/2 an Ambien) and woke up feeling more alive than usual. J and I made a silent truce sometime in the night by curling up to each other and waking up with a kiss. This morning I was upbeat, creating a handle for the bag that A was carrying her science board in, (ain't nothin' a little duct tape can't do) and she thought I was all Martha Stewart. Of course, that's me. Crafty Christy! I managed, then to complete a short list of piddly stuff that needed to get done - balance bank book, put lunch money in the kids' accounts, etc., and am now ready to take my shower and head out for the day. I even ate a healthy breakfast! Wow!

S decided not to join us today, so just K and I will head up north. I was bummed, but she's got stuff going today. It will still be a lovely girl's day out. Tonight is Skate Night at school (not at the school, for the school at the skating rink.) This is a monthly family affair and it's actually one of J's favorite things. He loves to skate, so the two of us get out there with all the kids and we get a little exercise. The rest of this week is equally busy with basketball, (JJ's on two teams) M's job, J's job, a date with my friend J to see Slumdog Millionaire tomorrow night, TA's basketball game (S's youngest) on Wednesday then we end the week with Little league tryouts, followed by Baseball Clinic, all day Saturday.

Buy my nails are looking better as each day passes. Still soft and breaking and a P in my A, but I'm persevering. Don't know why...still have no desire to put the tips back on. We'll see, it hasn't been that long, really.

Happy Monday - I hope you and W talk this week and smooth out the wrinkles. Look forward to reading later,
Love,
A
