Last week I saw this comment by Rebecca Cooper (a Simple Scrapbooker gal) on her bloggie:
"I just love mondays. I love the fresh start to the new week. I love the smell of laundry going. I love picking up after all the weekends activities and getting back to the routine of the week. I even love the Sunday night before as I think about all I did/didn't accomplish that week, what needs to be added to next weeks to-do list. Organizing our schedule, planning meals...getting ready for the brand new week. I kindof find it fun? Is that weird?I like her attitude about starting the week anew... and enjoying the process.
"Mondays around here are laundry day. A stay-in-your-pajamas-all-morning-day (ya. ummm. Sometimes that turns into an all day thing.). A don't-leave-the-house-if-you-don't-have-to day. A day for cleaning, and recommitting, and easing back into the routines of life." Rebecca Cooper
I'm not that peppy on Mondays, but I want to be.
So I tried this morning to forge happily into the day/week and we had a pretty good morning getting stuff done.
Mostly I just wanted to remember her encouragement to change my attitude and enjoy the process of cleaning and regrouping and enjoying being at home with no place to go and working with the kids.
