Then I realize I'd probably squander it on an all day nap. Sometimes I think I’d pay good money for a full day alone in my house. Then I realize I’d probably squander it on an all day nap.

It's so easy for me to get home from work, do my normal "stuff" and that's it, I'm done, when, in truth, there's enough time to do just ONE more thing. I love that!

Okay, by "early" I mean around 8:00, which really isn't that early. But you know how it is with the baby, the baby's stuff, my stuff, etc. We just started our summer break a week ago, and all during the school year I left the house by 5:30 a.m., so I realize how stupid it sounds to call 8:30 early...but it's early for vacation life. Anyway, right before I saw this post I was thinking I should pack up my son's food and such so we can get out more quickly. I already picked out his clothes...but haven't done anything about my own stuff...I'll pack a lunch for me too. That's all I can think of right now.

I've got to load the dishwasher and then fill out the paper work for my son's day camp that starts tomorrow. There's more I'd like to do, but it's already past my bedtime... so everything else can wait. =) Well….we had a very busy weekend – had a garage sale all weekend and just got home from visiting with friends.

This weekend got thrown off track because we were helping a friend move -- in 100 degree heat. There wasn't much energy left after doing the moving to do any chores, so I took a nap this afternoon and will do the minimum - kitchen cleanup and finish the laundry - to get me through Monday. I also have to carve out a few hours to go through some old zip disks to find a template file I want to use for a project at work. That should be fun. :o/ I have a routine list of chores that I do on weekends to prep for the work week. This weekend got thrown off track because we were helping a friend move — in 100 degree heat.

I need to lay out my work clothes and pack my healthy snacks. I also need to get my "stuff" together- all the crap I'm bringing with me. One thing that is done is I just got my breakfast casserole out of the oven, which I plan to cut up and freeze for breakfast this week- it's full of veggies, so I can start my day off strong (that's the hope, anyway).

Exciting because I love what I'll be doing, my new company, and my co-workers (who are old friends)....scary as heck because I'll be leaving my 2-yr-old and 5-mo-old with a friend for the first month or so before I can start working from home (it's all part-time, but still, the baby's not been with anyone other than myself or my husband for any length of time). Can I pump enough? Are they going to cry the whole time I'm away? Will the babysitter survive? Anyway, so tonight I'm getting the house cleaned up and making sure diapers and everything are in place. Hubs is doing his part by having us order pizza for dinner. I start my new job tomorrow morning.
