This morning I was up before 6:00 (not by choice, but SOMEONE was snoring and I couldn't sleep). I checked e-mail for a bit, then straightened up the living room and den, got myself some coffee, got dressed and fixed my hair and makeup, baked coffee cake for the "boys", washed dishes, cleaned up the kitchen, and brought in and sorted the paper. After everyone ate I re-tidied everything I'd already done once and then read the paper (and clipped the interesting coupons). I'm about ready for a nap, while everyone else is still thinking about having a shower.
Some people would call not having a paying job "taking a break," but I've never worked so hard in my life.... or loved it so much.
The coffee cake, by the way, is a HUGE hit (remember the stuff your grandma used to make).
