Every Monday morning, I wake up at way-too-early-o'clock in the morning to take my two oldest children to consortium. I then come home  and have school with my little one in the morning and then we two gals spend the rest of the day together--her choice.

It's her favorite day of the week. She asks me every Sunday evening . . ."do we get to spend the whole day together tomorrow" no less than 12 thousand times. She looks forward to this time so much, I never want to disappoint her so I try to keep laundry and cleaning to a minimum on Mondays. Although it really would be an ideal time for me to catch up on my household duties, considering my house is basically empty and that never happens.
