Just Another Manic Monday!

It's Monday. Oh how I love Mondays! The getting up before the sun, the cleaning, the laundry, the grocery shopping, the phone calling, the appointment making, the I need to go back to bed feeling that stays with me until I finally collapse into those clean sheets at the end of the day. Yep, Monday, it's a beautiful thing! 


This Monday is especially fantabulous since it's the first day of FCAT testing. Being the incredible Mother that I am I was up at 6 a.m. making bacon and eggs for Honey only to clean up the mess and do it again for Peanut at 7 a.m. I so wanted to crawl back into bed once she was on the bus but instead I decided to get a head start on my day. By 9 a.m. I had 3 loads of laundry done, the dishwasher emptied and reloaded, the dogs feed, the kitchen cleaned top to bottom ready for its Vlog debut {I did the "show & tell- show us your favorite room" video this morning, yes I waited until the morning before to do it- procrastination is my middle name!} and I wrote the post and have it scheduled to go live at midnight tonight {Eastern standard time}. One cup of coffee and two liters of water later and I no longer feel the need to go back to bed. Not because I'm so energized and now think I will become a morning person but becasue my bladder is so full that the peeing every 15 minutes would I'm sure prevent it. 


I'll be cleaning on and off all day instead of hitting it hard and having it done by 2 p.m. 6 p.m. because I must finish start the 6 painting orders that have been sitting here untouched for 2+ weeks. These poor people are going to think I've forgotten them. I will have them all done by Friday so I can enjoy at day at the beach on Saturday and Peanuts tournament on Sunday.


So, what do you do on your Manic Monday's?

WOW~ What a way to start a week. I started early today but then got everyone off and now I am still here at 11:16 in my pj's~ Lovin it!

I guess I should get dressed before the Mr. comes home though and the garden does need some touch ups, and I need to finish the duck pond... Guess it is time to follow your lead and go get some water, :)

Have a great day!

I am EXHAUSTED just reading what you have done this morning...

NOW...can you teach me to be a morning person? I would like to be able to get up and get some stuff done in the morning so it is not waiting for me at the end of the day!

I wanted to do my VLOG this morning while I was fresh...but BECAUSE I am NOT a morning person...it is still not done!

Happy Monday!

Yeah, so Emma and I rolled out of bed at 10:30. She has a fever so I was up all night checking on her plus we had major storms last night.

I have ZERO plans to clean anything today.

I need for our trip to Austin to get here QUICK!

I have had that feeling since last week. I just need to stay in bed :) I actually love Mondays. Late start for school and no after school activities. This is the only day of the week that I get to clean and be at home by myself all day too :) Mondays are my favorite!

Oh my gosh, I love your day. It sounds about as manic as mine, but I dont have kids. I give you mad props for your day/week/life. I'm just barely getting stuff done by 6, and you do about 3 times as much as me!! Great Job! Cant wait to see the Vlog tomorrow!!

I'm tired and think I'll go back to bed now.

I actually love Mondays. My favorite show of the week is on Monday night. And since I'm a single mom at nighttime, and I have a dear friend who just went through a painful divorce - she comes over and we watch together and talk the night away.

It also motivates me to get my house clean before she gets here!

I was out running errands all day....kids are tired and cranky and I"m drinking wine.

I did my vlog!

Dang. Just reading all the stuff you got done by 9 am made me want to go back to bed. I think I hadn't even gotten out of bed yet at that time.
You're a rockstar!
