Welcome Monday and a New Week

I took a nice weekend break, although I had no choice but to become unplugged Friday night because of having no power for over 24 hours, that sucked! We had high winds here in NH and I recall late Thursday night going outside and almost being blown over, and I am not a tooth pick by any means so the winds were certainly strong! Without power it wasn’t all too bad other than when night fall came & we had no heat, it was rather cold but when you have three kids and one other adult (my sister stayed with us that night) we were able to bundle up under a blanket with flashlights and read some wonderful children books such as The Cat in The Hat and Beauty & the Beast.  We made it into early Saturday morning about 2:35am when the power snapped back on and woke most of us up from a dead sleep, that furnace is loud when power kicks on!

I didn’t touch much of the Internet nor email all weekend so reality is today I have some catching up to do. Some press release submissions and some marketing to do for a couple clients and some blog writing to catch up on.

We had to rearrange some things in the house due to the separation and this meant that AJ would no longer have a television in his bedroom, which is just awesome. He now goes to sleep so much faster, I don’t know what we were thinking having an ADHD type of child having a movie before bed, all it does is stimulate his already stimulated brain. He slept pretty well both Friday and Saturday but Sunday night both my boys gave me a pretty hard time come bedtime. AJ finally went to sleep at some point when Baby K decided it was “up” time and he kept saying “up Mama” and finally come 1am he fell asleep. That boy is so stubborn, don’t know where they get that from! I am certainly not stubborn at all! ROFL (roll on floor laughing)

The weekend overall was great, it was so nice not to be on the computer at all, it was nice to spend quality time with my children playing the Wii and relaxing at night when they went to sleep instead of staying up all night long working after they went to sleep. I think I will most certainly start taking weekends off from working late nights because it seems I have just thrown myself into the late night working field which makes me exhausted and ready to do nothing but lounge all day. I hope to get back to exercising too when I get my leg checked out so that I can start boosting my energy level and of course start losing those inches and pounds again. Luckily I have not gained any weight back from my previous work out efforts, so that’s a great plus!

That’s pretty much it for my wrap up of the weekend being unplugged, I feel refreshed and productive, ready for this week! Happy Monday friends!
