What do you think of the new blog design? Let me know!
After nearly a year away, I'm so happy to be blogging again! At first wedding planning was taking up all my time, and then it was struggling to budget my time between cooking, reading, cleaning, exercising, Netflix, and quality time with my husband.
I desperately need a schedule to stick to, but I'm sad to say I've chosen sleeping over doing anything productive in the morning--things I'd love to do, like writing or just having a little quiet time before work. I should be shamed into writing up that schedule, because I've married a man who is an expert at budgeting his time.
Colin gets up at 5:00 a.m. and is able to read, write, check the weather, leisurely drink his coffee, eat breakfast, skim the news, check his email, catch up on blogs, clean the office, make a lunch for the day, and talk to me cheerily for half an hour before he leaves for work.
My morning "routine" consists of me zombie-shuffling into the den and making some acknowledging noise when Colin says good morning. I take a shower and get dressed and ready for work, but rarely do I have enough time left to both have breakfast and make a lunch, or write, or read my Magnificat.
Before you ask, I'm not a coffee drinker. Never have been. However, if tea will help, I might just start.
Anyway, I started thinking about all of this seriously when I finished Tolstoy's Anna Karenina.
