Floor is covered in articles of clothing. Shirts, jeans, jackets, sweatpants, sweaters…. I don’t even remember which ones are clean and which ones need to be added to the massive “Laundry” pile in our room.  The kitchen table has a HUGE stack of mail and school paperwork on the counter and underneath that stack of unread bills and letters is homework from BOTH kids that needs done…. by the end of this week.  My inbox is overflowing and I still haven’t caught up with emails since Abigail got sick all last week.

Today I woke up with tons of thoughts going through my mind but really … all I wanted to do was lay in bed… with my kiddos and my husband….. but alas it is Monday, and that means the week starts with or without me. The alarm went off and I chose not to move. After a week of having Abigail sick …. I am exhausted. So even though I lost an hour of productivity this morning… my lazy Monday morning was worth it. Isaac has left for work and my job is to make our house back into a HOME today. We’ll openly admit that we’re tired and have moments of being overwhelmed…. and that’s why mornings like this morning are so necessary.  Sometimes all we need is some prayer time and two healthy kiddos to remind us that life is precious and it’s too short to not lay in bed for an extra hour.  Happy Monday! Here’s to a great week!
