It's Monday morning. I'm in the process of waking up, still. My eldest son came in about half an hour ago complaining of an aching stomach. True to form, he came straight to me & woke me up to help.

Sidenote... when Andrea was pregnant with Micah (he & Josiah are two years apart in age), we trained Josiah that if he woke up in the middle of the night and needed help to wake dad up instead of mom. If Andrea woke up she would have a terrible time going back to sleep. All the kids have learned this and to this day come & wake me up first :-)

Anyhow, it was a blessing in this case as I had forgotten to set my alarm. So, I got up, had my breakfast, drank my coffee, caught up on the latest SportsCenter news/videos, & checked my email. I'm ready to get going.

Last week was a busy week. Lots of things packed into the span of 5 days time. Saturday I was highly unproductive - sat around most of the day finishing a book I was reading. Yesterday was a community day - had lunch with friends & watched the Titans vs Colts game and then had community group in our home last night.

Today is a good day. I have rarely dreaded Mondays (except, perhaps, when they come right after a vacation or other time off). My blood is usually pumping, raring to jump into the thick of work & get things done. Mondays tend to be highly productive days for this very reason. I get a lot done - especially in the mornings. It seems like the 'typical Monday' doesn't hit me until about 2pm on Monday afternoon when I finally wear down (or the adrenaline wears off).

Tuesdays are another story altogether... :-)
