My Monday, so far

Thinking that if I can convince my family that it's a good idea to wash laundry at 6am or so, I'll be able to get a jump on the day. What do you think? OK, it was a rhetorical question. Don't answer. But I do have a yearning on Mondays to have a list to accomplish. Not so much what anyone else expects of me, but the other way around. What I want to do. Sometimes I get in a rut of thinking I have 'to do' in order to be worthy. Sort of legalistic, aren't I? Or maybe just foolish.

Today includes taking a son to the hardware store for a mower part. Buying milk and lettuce. Salmon croquettes and salad for dinner. Yum. And the ever-present cleaning the house.

I need to begin caulking the outside windows, like I hinted at several weeks ago. Will be dry weather for the next few days, so it'd be opportune. We'll see. Still not inspired to tackle that job. Painting the china cabinet in the kitchen light pink is as industrious as I've felt lately. And even that was a tiny bit of an effort.

Must make time to browse my new Romantic Homes magazine. Have been letting it sit here, just tempting me. The September issue just came out. Girlie loveliness.

Now, must go. Am using my laptop on the battery, so's not to sit here overlong. On with my scrambled thoughts..........
