Saturday Morning Peace

Despite all the sleep issues i have had over the last month i relish waking up at 7am or earlier on Saturday mornings. It is my time, all are asleep or Robert is at work and I am all ALONE. Sometimes I Facebook-but really not much happens at night so there's nothing new to read. Sometimes I pick up an actual book with pages! Wow, what a concept now a days! I love the Kindle but there is nothing better than the feel of a paperback book that you have just bent the hell out of as the story line picked up.

Currently i am reading the Sookie Stackhouse Novels~ love them! So much fun and quick reads which are perfect for this full-time working, chauffeuring, cheerleader, caretaker mom. I just shove it in my purse and read when ever the mood hits--or a line -- or waiting to be called to the doctors office.

Something new i have been doing also, we are on serious spending boycott as so many of us are-no fun perks like magazines or itunes cards. :( So to satisfy my lust for decorating magazines when ever we so grocery shopping I pick the longest line at the check out and read a whole magazine before I'm done! I even have the kids on in on it, baby genius will read a Captain Underpants book, the older kids will read sports or food magz its awesome and everyone knows and understands that once we hit that conveyor belt it's books down and time to load up.

Back to Saturday-If i wake up extra early I may even work out but with the sleep deprivation lately it hasn't happened. I've stopped working from home during these Saturday--I makes me feel like i don't get away from work.

Last week I almost finished my BATH project-pics to come soon. I also finished the boys name letters-for their walls. Now all i have to do is prime and paint and rearrange and then hang the letters on the wall. Simple-HA! That will be a mid-winter adventure especially since big boy and baby genius can't agree on colors. Really? When did a 3 yr old ever get so much say in anything??

OK friends it's 910 and i am stilling enjoying only the sound of my keyboard clicking. Let me get back to work on one of those many unfinished art projects, hope you are spending your day doing something your really enjoy!

Ciao
