Right about now, I start feeling like every day is groundhog day. I get up, get the kids ready for school, make lunches, make breakfast, make beds, yell at kids to brush teeth, get them to bus stop on time (usually), clean house, do laundry, write my blog, workout, work other people out, food shopping, answer emails/phone calls, get kids off the bus, yell at kids to do homework, snacks, after school activities, dinner, showers for kids, bedtime. And repeat for tomorrow. And the tomorrow after that and so on and so on and so on........
I suppose the endless gray days of snow, sleet, rain, freezing rain don't help. When the sun is out...we all feel a bit peppier. Maybe a vacation is in order. Hold that thought....the kids just came off of Christmas vacation. Hmmm, maybe a vacation is in order for ME???? Well, um, I just had a long weekend with my hubby in San Fran so I am all set in that department. So, what is it exactly?
Certainly I am grateful for the monotony of life. I know the other side ......constant ups and downs of dealing with a sick loved one and being on call at all hours of the day and night. I know that my children are more or less healthy and my hubby too. Very grateful for that. Further, as you all know (mommy sabbatical blog) I do get out and see my friends and spend a little quality time for myself etc.
I guess this is the treadmill of life. Sometimes it's plodding along at a 4.0 pace.... sometimes it's a 10 level hill ..... and sometimes you gotta sprint at 7.0.
I'm a 4.0 right now, and that's cool with me.

I think the gist of Groundhog Day was that Bill Murray had to live the same day over until he got it right. He finally did. What are YOU doing wrong?
Don't do the same thing day after day. Break it up with a MOVIE or a PEDICURE or an AFFAIR with the UPS MAN! Okay, maybe not that last one!
I loved how the clock radio always played I Got You Babe by Sonny and Cher when he woke up.
I f**king hate that song.
I agree with Flossy, your routine is routine when it comes to the kids, and we all know kids NEED to have their routine...but when they leave for school...tell yourself on at least ONE day of the week,that you are NOT going to clean or do laundry, and get in your MonaVie-hicle and do something that is JUST FOR YOU!!! Especially on a non-sunny day...Lord knows we've had enough of them lately!! You, of all people know Fitfreak, that doing the SAME exercise day in and day out....after awhile it really doesn't work...you gotta MIX IT UP!! :) Now get off that OCD treadmill and mix it up...and you will be rockin' steady at a 5.0mph on a 5.0 incline!! :)
