It's Monday



A View of the Valley

Monday 11-7-11

Jeff not feeling well.  And… because Misery loves company and Walmart is open 24/7, I was up most of the night, too.  Fortunately, Jeff was able to sleep most of the day.  Me?!  I had a Monday.  No sleep, kids show up, we play.  We have lunch, then head off to naps, where Ellie and the 1 year old play tag team, crying to be rocked back to sleep.  Mom late to pick kids up because she had lost her keys,  as we rush to swim class, I witness a highway mangling of a deer that as the scene played out, I originally pictured  it successfully going across the road; I was wrong, not sure if it is dead – seemed to move some after the second bounce.  The water was FREEZING at swim class.  Then, we get home to find a huge, stinky dog pile in the downstairs bathroom.  But, if we look at the bright side; Ellie and I didn’t get sick, I will get all the sleep I need when I die, my keys are (almost) always in their correct spot & Ellie is too young to move them, we didn’t hit the deer (and it wasn’t one that I knew), swimming was still swimming – we love swimming, and the dog pile could have been in many other worse spots – the tile floor and vent helped!

One Last Look at Our Jack-O-Lanterns Before they Fly Over the Pasture Fence.

So, another Monday down, tomorrow always comes.
