This mouse is gonna sleep.

Scott is away for work in NYC for the next few days, and while I already miss him, I’m admittedly using this as an excuse to be beyond lazy. I got home from work today and took to my bed (after walking the kiddos) and slept well into the evening. I anticipate a difficult night’s sleep tonight, but no worries – I’ll take to my bed again tomorrow when I get home…

It’s hard to believe that we are over halfway into January. The days are melting into each other and I can’t get a grip on how much has to be done. I haven’t been using my time very wisely (duh, Al, not when you go to bed at 5 in the afternoon…) and I feel like a lot of the things I wanted to do for the New Year are already not panning out the way I hoped they would.  I’ll be 30 in another couple months, and for some reason that age is applying a great deal of added pressure.

And pressure makes me sleepy.

I took a napping break to make some guacamole and watch comfort movies while in bed with Ivan and Miah, and after I call Scott to tell him I miss him like crazy, I’ll slide under the covers and hope that tomorrow I am more productive.

What do you do to keep motivated during the mid-winter blues? Do tell.
