First Monday at home

Well, I'm having my first Monday at home and so far, it feels like I never left. Sort of strange.

I'm sitting at the computer and knocking out my first story for my new job and thankfully it came together quickly. I was stressing about it. But, this could be good. Doing straight news again is really a nice change. I like it. Working on daily deadlines again. Sort of cool in an adrenaline rush kind of way. Ok, as exciting as breaking real estate news can be.

But, I've got laundry started and done. Already put the child on the potty, too. Was feeling pretty good about that and then the child peed in the floor 45 minutes later. She does that to get my attention or when she is mad at me. So, we will have to work on our play time and mom's work time.

I cleaned out the closets in Hot Rod's room yesterday and got started on Stinkerbelle's before she went down for her nap. I have about three or four garbage bags full of clothes, toys and assorted things to take to friends, the church and Goodwill. My entire body is sore from all that lifting, shifting, etc. I rearranged Hot Rod's room a little bit, too. so, I'll get a workout from cleaning house this week. Have to prepare for Stinkerbelle's birthday party at the house this Saturday.
