Routines Are Funny Things

We've all been on "vacation" for a week now. It's been wonderful! Christmas was fun - both children loved their gifts.

This has been the best holiday I've had in a long while. I'm not sure what makes it any better than ones in the past, but there ya go.

I've been on a different combination of anti-anxiety meds since this summer, so maybe that's it. Not as much sweating the small stuff (and it's all small stuff!).

Anyway, everything has been really laid back and no pressure. Sweet! But, this morning - not even fully realizing it is Monday - I woke up precisely at 6:28, which is around the time the Evil Twin would wake me up on a school/work day.

I think it's funny that my mind and body instinctively "knew" I needed to wake up at that time. That's been my Monday thru Friday routine for so long, it must be seared into my brain by now.

Of course, I quickly realized that it was still "vacation" time and promptly fell back on the pillow and conked back out! LOL. I am NOT a morning person, so if I can squeeze in a bit of extra sleep, you better believe I'll be checking out the inside of my eyelids for as long as possible.

Yesterday the sky was so blue, but there were dark clouds moving in:



And, this morning, we have some snow flurries. I don't think anything - if much - will stick, so we're still planning on going to the grocery store today. I'm always happy when the Evil Twin goes with me, so he can help lift heavy things. Although, I do notice I tend to spend more money when the whole family goes.... LOL.

Happy Monday as we wind down closer to 2010!
