If you ever want to borrow Natalie to be your official wake-up call, just let me know. Her typical m/o is to crawl up on top of you asking for "Breakstast" and a video!
Tomorrow is Saturday...sleep in and have pb&j sandwiches for lunch! :)
But don't the Gilmore Girls always make you smile? Sometimes even laugh out loud? Can't you sign Christmas cards and watch TV? Iron and watch TV?
Multi-tasking - the way to go!

Previous comment coming from someone who has to be moving all the time. She knits and smocks during ladies class. Sometimes there is nothing better than laying down and doing nothing, shutting off your mind, and tuning into some TV show that makes you laugh and forget about all the other stuff that you could be doing. Take an hour or two for yourself, sip some tea, and get ready for the next day that is scheduled from dark thirty to dark thirty.
Yes, yes, and yes. . .as I left school yesterday as soon as humanly possible. . .one of my co-workers said, "Well, you're done." (OUr district got out yeserday) NOt quite. . .had to go straight to Victoria's school for her Christmas party. THEN I was done. ;)
Do more of the falling into bed. :)
