Even a partial day off makes a huge difference!

So I'm off for a few hours today. A first since Labor Day! Basically, Monday through Thursday are 10-11 hour work day for me, so even a few hours before my afternoon lessons on Fridays are a lifesaver! I actually got up after the husband today! Which means I got to sleep past 7:00!

A Miracle!

It's amazing the difference in attitude I have when I know there's such a thing as down time in my day! And, even though I have a huge to do list, all the stuff on it is for me, or the house at least.

Today's plans-
A Quick Workout (still not running cause they're doing road construction in my development)
Shower
Clean kitchen
Make pizza dough for tonight
Reclean kitchen :)
Bank
Clean out MOPS closets at old church
Go get gas and do a little Christmas window shopping (I'm halfway done with one side of the family already)
Pick up the husband
Teach two lessons
Home for the night by 5:30!!

Not a bad deal!

Yesterday was a zoo, so I could use this little break this morning. I plan on spending at least another half hour online with my coffee before even thinking about that list.

Yesterday was the closest thing I've had to my full regular schedule. But, instead of a few lessons in the middle I got to do this......(click to enlarge)

Go to the Photoblog for more info on Jess or individual pictures.

We had so much fun! I love doing teen girls photo shoots, especially when they're teen girls I'm friends with in real life. Jess is a joy, and gorgeous, inside and out.

Well, off to my to do list I think, either that or a second cup of coffee! I'm guessing the coffee will out rank the workout, but we'll see. :)
