There’s a reason why I call my Monday Morning blog mumblings. That’s right, Monday mornings are the worst. Ever.

I don’t know why, but this morning I woke up like this:

Maybe it’s due to working a seven day week for the last, I don’t know, past six years. 😉 Okay, slight exaggeration, I do have some down time. But here’s a classic conversation between me and DH on the subject.

DH: Over Christmas, you’ll take some time off to just read and relax?

Me: Of course. Maybe I’ll even finish that Stephen King book you bought me last Christmas.

DH: No writing, no editing, no book stuff, for a month, right? 

Me: Bwhahaha. *sideways glance at DH, sees that he’s serious* Bwhahahahahahahaha! 

DH: Three weeks then.

Me: Hello, do you know me at all? Best I can do is from my birthday (Christmas Eve) to New Years.

DH: So, two weeks then.

Me: Something like that.

Of course, if you take into consideration the size of my TBR pile of books, I may be off until Easter! 

Anyone else have trouble winding down and just relaxing? How do you cope with balancing your work, family time and you-time? Let me know in the comments below.

Have a great week, peeps!
