It's so hard to wake up Monday mornings. I couldn't make it out of bed to get to the gym yesterday. Part of the problem is not being able to stay asleep at night and the other is not being disciplined and waking up early on the weekends. So, Monday, I woke up at 6. I wasn't happy getting up. I know I have to though, it's best. After being up and moving, the day gets better and my mood turns energetic. I was able to get a lot accomplished. 5 loads of laundry, washed and folded! Pumpkin bars made. Chicken Piccata made. Dishwasher started, unloaded, and reloaded. A huge blog post posted. Accounts checked. Kids happy. Mommy happy. I felt productive yesterday, despite not going to the gym. I feel like Mondays are my days to catch up from the weekend. Our weekends are usually family time and clean the house, no "mommy" chores. I love having my Monday! We don't leave the house, except to take the dog out.
Today. We woke up early and went to the gym. First up, Sterling, 45 minutes before schedule. Little stinker! I made Nick get up and give the teaser bottle because she was fussing for 30 minutes. I officially got up at 430, and Xander was fussing but went back to sleep until 445. The kids adjust well to being woken up and shuffled around. Sterling went back to sleep once we got home and Xander stayed up till 7. It works. I even did intervals of run/walk today! Yah me!
I'm tasked with booking us a hotel somewhere this weekend. I think I'm leaning on going to the Black Forest. Nick is thinking Belgium. What to do?!?
I'm also tasked with getting some of our adoption records certified so we can file our reimbursement with the military. I think the kids and I will go to the legal office tomorrow though.
I need to go in our storage room and check my inventory of Christmas supplies. I can't remember if i bought Sterling a stocking last year or if I need to grab her one this year. Then I might as well check my decor items and present supplies. While the BX has their Christmas stuff out now, I'll want to grab what I need if they have it now otherwise we'll be without. So, tomorrow will be a day out for us.
The fall truffels I made on Friday turned out delicious. Nick called this weekend in meals a success and can be repeated. Those burgers I made Friday night, he wants again. They were really good and the first words I said when I took a bite..."oh my goodness, I'm in heaven."
Have a great day!
