Early morning

Abby was having a hard time breathing at about 4:45 this morning (time for another cold, I guess), so I got up to give her some more medicine, clear out her nose, and rock her back to sleep. After I had her back in the crib, I realized... I was totally awake! Since I knew there was a Zumba dance class at the gym at 5:30 this morning, I decided I was just going to get up and GO! It is now almost 9:30 a.m., and these are the things I have accomplished so far:

  1. Folded 2 loads of laundry and started another load
  2. Worked out at the gym--I love Zumba!!!
  3. Taken a shower
  4. Put dishes away
  5. Prepped Abby's bottles for the day
  6. Made a pot of coffee
  7. Changed 2 diapers
  8. Talked to Dad
  9. Fed Abby breakfast (yum, rice cereal!)
  10. Had waffles and coffee for breakfast
  11. Rocked Abby back to sleep for a nap
  12. Washed tiles for sample coasters I need to make today
Hmmm.... maybe I should be napping, too! I'm afraid if I stop going, I might not be able to get back up! I also have to work from 3 - 8 p.m. tonight, so I'm sure I will crash when I get home from that. This is the week Abby turns 6 months old, so I can start taking her with me--more hours! This is going to be a very busy week, so I guess I'm just trying to start it off well. I'm working 25 hours at the gym nursery, and I also got another order of coasters from Davis-Kidd Booksellers in Memphis. I have until this coming Monday to make nearly 100 coasters--yikes! Looks like I don't really have time to keep blabbing on here! :)

Like Elizabeth, my thoughts exactly! And I'm totally impressed at your early morning success. I have been amazed with how easy it is for me to waste an entire morning. :) Good for you!

I am always so much more organized and energetic when I get up early too. SO why do I still wait on my little five-year-old alarm clock every morning? Habit, I guess.

Way to go on the coasters, girl! I am not surprised one bit.

What an energetic morning! By the way, one of the sets of coasters that I purchased went to their intended receiver (my Secret Sister from the past year) and she just LOVES them! You may get some orders from her. :)

Uhhh -- I think Zumba is neat looking -- but I would throw something out of whack! Besides, looks like a person has to be coordinated to do that! :) Way to go Rachel!

Just wanted to say hello and congratulate you on your coasters. What a lovely little girl you have, too. My children are all grown, so enjoy while you can despite all the diapers, etc. In case you're interested, my blog is http://www.rachelcochranblogspot.com.

Amazing what can be done in the early morning hours. Zumba looks fun, but we don't have any one in Mannington who teaches it. Go figure! 100 coasters! That's a lot to make. Good luck. I'm glad that business is providing you with a little extra income. Everyone can use that these days. Hope Abby is feeling better.
