Super Woman Wears Pajamas*

Some days you wear pajamas all day and feel like a blob. But some days you can wear the pajamas and feel like Super Woman.

So far, today feels like one of those days. Considering it is a Monday, that is even much more impressive [if I do say so myself.] It's not yet noon, so I know things could change on a dime, but I am going to enjoy the feeling while it lasts.

This morning I had packed Chase's lunch, snack and book bag, done weekly billings for work, wrote award descriptions, and finished the tele-prompter script that I need this afternoon--before anyone else had even opened their eyes for the day. After I got Mark out the door, coffee in hand, and Chase on the bus, I sorted recycling and got the garbage out to the curb BEFORE the truck [some days I am dashing down the drive when I hear the truck.] Then fed Avery and Ellis breakfast.

And then, just to really feel like I had done something for the morning, I took down, wrapped and boxed all the Christmas decorations. [The tree and lights will have to wait. We have to do this in baby steps or the shock throws my kids into a deep depression. Ellis was not happy and kept trying to re-hang the ornaments.] The boxes are all now in the attic where they belong.

And yep. I am STILL in my pjs.

But I will have to make a costume change, dress the little girls and head into work for a quick video shoot [I am crossing my fingers that it is FAST and that the ladies don't kill themselves or trash my office while they wait!]

But I can tell you that I fully plan to put the pajamas back on as soon as we get home to meet Chase and the bus. And then maybe take a nap.

*Some day, should I ever write a book about surviving parenting... this will be the title. So no stealing it for your own writing endeavors. I did a Google search and as of today... I am the only one crazy enough to write such a sentence... or at least crazy enough to post it on the world wide web.
