Day Six

I slept in this morning, first time since New Years Eve, seriously I gave up teaching  Kettlebells at Golds Gym the week before Christmas this was the first Sunday in three years I didn't have to be up ready to teach class.  I got out of bed  at 9:30 and enjoyed my coffee, had leftover pork chops with two eggs for breakfast and it was off to the races.

We brought all the boxes up yesterday but the three trees and the rest of the decorations still needed to one down.  I decided to wait until morning to start it, I normally start it later in he day because it's  usually New Years Day and I need the morning to recover.  With that said taking down the trees and putting the decorations away is always accompanied by a glass of wine.  Not this year, and I was reminded quickly as I fought removing the lights from the first tree why wine is always involved.    After six hours and a couple of cups of coffee I was finally finished.  The house always seems empty when it's all put away, but I am glad it is done!  I missed the sledding WOD at the gym today but I needed a day off and there is no way I would have finished if I would have gone.

I got a little cranky with the family today (ok a lot cranky) but I think it was more that I had way too much to do today and it took me way too long to get Christmas put away and I had a ton more things to do prepare for the week.  I feel like if I am prepared I will make it through the week.  I cut up cucumbers so I have something to munch on and I even have my breakfast and lunch all ready for tomorrow.  I had the boys shovel a path to the grill so I could grill steaks for tonights dinner and so we could use it during the week. I prefer grilled food over baked or broiled.

All in all a successful day!  I am sitting here with my new night time drink (I found my old princess house coffee mugs, so I have something a little nicer to drink my tea out of) waiting for the winter season premiere of Revenge!

What did I learn today?

Leftovers for breakfast are good
Olive Oil is my friend
Everything will get done, be patient.  (Michael is reading this right now and has hit the floor laughing because he knows that there is no way I have patience.)

One weekend down, three to go!!
