This bodes well for the week to come

Lots to do in the next ten days before I can start packing for the great Florida journey. I woke up spontaneously at 6:30 this morning (I KNOW!) and couldn't go back to sleep, so up I got and to work I went. I also made eggs for the childrens before they went to school.

It's always interesting to watch how the kids react to this sort of thing. On the one hand, they're pleased - mornings are not my job around here, Dad does a great job. On the other hand, mornings are not my job, and while they're tucking away their hot breakfast you can tell it makes them nervous. Mommy's up, what's wrong? Mommy's cooking, what's REALLY wrong?

Keep 'em on their toes, that's what I always say. They can take it up with their therapist or Oprah at some point in the future.

So. I have cooked, I have worked, I have even washed the dishes. Now it's that awful lull before 9 when I'm waiting for the REST of the world to be at their desks and answering the phone.

And I fully anticipate that I will completely crash by noon.
