Productivity.

It feels good. And you know what else? Early morning productivity feels even better.

For example, today I woke up at 7 (I know some may roll their eyes, but my kids don't get up until 8...7 is early people, it's all relative.). I ate breakfast (alone!) had my quiet time (uninterrupted!) and started sewing on some work projects I had been putting off...all before anyone else woke up (well, I say anyone, Chris is a rock star and gets up EARLY to run and shower and leaves often before we wake up).

But I digress, it was fantastic. By 9:30 I had done aforementioned things as well as finished 4 projects, gotten all parties dressed, fed, I had makeup on and I had packed our lunches for the day. (Pardon me while I pat myself on the back).

Speaking of productivity...yesterday we had our house appraised since we are in the process of refinancing (which, while it will save us money, all started in an effort to move all money and ties away from Bank of America. We hate that place). We don't have numbers back yet, but are just praying that we haven't lost too much equity in our home these past 2.5 years. So irritating...Anyway, yesterday I was cleaning and throwing out like a mad woman. I love the feeling of throwing things away. It is so cleansing. There is nothing better than a before and after picture of a room or closet that is purged, organized and clean (unfortunately, no such pictures were taken, but it is mentally still refreshing). Ahhh. Must keep it that way....
