Mornings are just not my best time of day. (Really, for anyone who knows me, that is a huge understatement.) But today I had a rare opportunity. My kids left early with their dad to go visit the grandparents. I had the entire day to myself...and a ton of homework. So I made myself get up early, set up my books, my computer, my coffee...then decided to clean house first...cause I can't concentrate when things aren't where they belong. House clean, I sat back down to do homework...but my coffee was cold so I went to get some more. Then I noticed the laundry needed to be put away...that would bug me, so I put the laundry away, got coffee and sat back down. I started my homework and quickly determined I needed some kind of Excel tutorial cause that stupid spreadsheet was not cooperating. But all my grad school peeps are at work today...bless their hearts...so I skipped that assignment with plans to do the next...but...by this time...I was tired so...I took a nap.

I haven't heard from my kids today. I am hoping that's a good thing. I am also hoping they don't come home with more crap...from the barn. My father-in-law has a barn bigger than his house. You have to see it to believe it. It is FULL of...stuff...that he has collected over the years. He pawns it off on my kids a piece at a time...they love it...me, not so much.
