A little while back I noticed that every Monday morning we were having such resistance to the day. I used to like to hit the ground running and would schedule many appointments on Mondays for some reason! But a few months ago I started noticing the pattern of everyone including me having difficult Monday mornings.
I am thankful for the change that we have made this a day of rest which allows for spontaneous things and a lot less pressure for us to get our act together.
I usually start the morning with quiet music playing or a little show as everybody wakes up and we do the day how we want to. I actually take time for my coffee and to prepare my heart for the week ahead.
It has become a spontaneous day where we might go on a field trip or what I like to call "magazine Monday" where we catch up on all of our kid magazines. This is sure not what I pictured when I said yes to homeschooling but being able to say yes to these sorts of days has allowed me to keep going. I'm so pumped about this decision that I kinda have a party everytime I get to say yes to relaxing!
