Monday Again

A four-day work week and I'm so glad!

On Saturday, I worked some overtime, and later in the afternoon, we went to DH's cousin's house for a family Christmas party. I ended up with a picture of square sheep (one of those cutesy "primitive" folk-art-type paintings), with the inscription "Live Well, Laugh Often, Love Much." Yeah, I was thrilled. I'm putting it above the window in the kitchen, which is right above the dog's crate. I have a folk-art wooden cow that sits in the windowsill so I thought it would be an appropriate place to hang the picture.

The kid has been getting up before sunrise. Just once I would like to sleep in past 7am. Maybe she goes to bed too early.

I finished reading Dr. Phil's latest book, "Family First." I would have preferred to read more case studies of actual situations, rather than all the numbered/bulleted list points he tried to make. The book contained a lot of common-sense rhetoric that people seem to forget about. I like what he says about not trying to keep up with the Joneses and that a child does not have to be in a ton of activities . I feel guilty sometimes that my DD isn't getting enough outside stimulation since we don't have her in any extracurricular activities. But she's four. I think there is plenty of time. :)
