Monday Blues

We spent the weekend skiing and snowboarding together. It was a lot of fun, but today is back to the grind with th exception of no school for the boys. We struggle on days off it seems ~ Cooper does better with a schedule. I asked them all to sleep in this morning (boarding for the whole weekend always takes it out of them) even though they went to bed early, so that they'd catch up a bit. Well, first they wouldn't GO to sleep and then they wouldn't STAY asleep. They are grouchy and Jackson is crying at the drop of a hat. On top of that we have homework (a lot) to do, no groceries and a house to clean. Yuck.

I was blue coming home yesterday anticipating today ... I love days off with my boys but also can dread them when I know I'm going to have to be the enforcer and get them to do things they don't want to do ALL day. Again, yuck. Oh well. We'll try and muddle through. This is when I try to come up with a plan that will pull us to the end ~ their favorite lunch and maybe download a few new tunes to clean to. With any luck they'll come around.

I with ya, honey. The days off are a killer. And when it's this cold...forget about it!
Hang in there...
