mondays, or highlights part two

wince. I’m craving caffeine and a few more hours of sleep. I’m watching the clock wind down and finally let me leave. Tuesday through Friday I can swallow, but Sunday ends and them WHAM!, here it comes again. There’s a little girl inside of me that just wants a blanky and a pillow and a pair of flannel jammies. Ahh, sweet bliss…

I think I need to seriously work on improving the quality of mondays. There’s got to be better monday out there, one worth capitalizing and italicizing, and I want to take hold of it. I’m going to make another list of highlights just to get this one turned around (I’m cheering myself up already):

- the Masters on Sunday. I love watching golf, especially with my hubby. Especially with my hubby and my niece, Ella, who was pretending to bake us cookies and bring us milk the whole time.

- Our house. Every weekend we go visit our house as it is being built… we take pictures and get more excited to move in. This week: it’s primed (inside), there trim and molding, inside doors!, a garage door, and house numbers. House numbers!

- Family. Getting my in-laws together with my family seemed a little nerve-wrecking, but it was awesome. God is good.

- Birthdays. Shouts to Carrie, now 29, and Ashleigh E., now 21!   Next up: Nate- 29

- Our clean, clean, clean apartment. It’s such a joy…(hopefully it will still be clean enough for me to list as a highlight next week).

- Fresh strawberries, handpicked by a 4-year-old. Perfect and yummy.

- The Office. It simply brightens my day with idiotic and outrageous humor.

- My husband, who will almost make himself late for work because he can’t stop cuddling with me. I wish he were here right now.

- The Reflect small group/personal study that we’re going through at Seacoast. It’s really, really awesome.

There, I think I feel a capital ‘M’ coming on… here’s wishing you a brighter, better Monday.
