My 15 minutes

I peeled myself from the bed just 15 minutes earlier this morning and what a difference it made! The time change assisted with this, as it is much easier for me to get up when I can see the light of day. That 15 minutes made a huge difference in my attitude to start the day. I wasn't scrambling to get out the door, I actually ate breakfast, and arrived at work when I'm supposed to! Now, I just need to keep this up. Oh - and to those that have lived with me, I should note that this little trick involved me setting an alarm that is across the room. I have to break the habitual snoozing habit, somehow.

AND, my husband is back home and lending a hand. We had a great talk over the weekend about the support I'm going to need in the next 3-4 weeks to survive my academic demands. He's on the right track with helping little J do his treatment and getting himself in the shower at a decent hour. Little does he know that he'll also be giving little J his bath tonight and possibly overseeing dinner prep depending on what time he gets home. I appreciate his help so very much!
