I'm grateful, oddly enough, for a busy Monday. Today started off with the same daunting feeling any start to a week brings--maybe even more so because Evan and Lauren had trouble waking at the new Daylight Saving Time. I dropped the kids off at school and did some grocery shopping. I'm home cooking and cleaning now. I'll pick the kids up from school later and we'll rush home to do homework. Dinner will be quick too, before Matt and the boys head off to the baseball field for practice, and Lauren and I head back to school for a PTA meeting. We'll all get home and hurry our usual end-of-day routine to get everybody in bed a little late. I like that we have busy Mondays because, by comparison, it makes each day of the week seem a little easier.
