Monday mornings are so very difficult. My alarm is set for 6:45 but this bright Monday morning I finally got out of bed at 7:24. Not bad for a night person. A new regimen in the evening with my medication and I am hoping that there will be some relief in the next couple of days. Before I know it I am late out the door and I am running. Monday mornings, after Spring Break, are especially difficult! A relatively normal day at school and a relatively normal day at home. Except of course for taxes.
Down the hall Mark works on pulling everything together. This is our first year owning the quilt shop and the income taxes are nothing like what we thought they would be; in terms of preparation, primarily. We are doing our best but the stress is palpable. Deep breaths and calm voices are what will see us through.
Monday, afterschool for me, major cleanup from the havoc that was Sunday when I was trying to pull together everything for our taxes. Hopefully I will never let things get as bad as they did this year! Live and learn. Taking photos of everything around me causes me to reflect more-so on the blessings and less on the stress.
