Green Tea Apple Spiced Drink

Monday’s for me are always a struggle. I guess it’s the fact that Monday is always put aside for cleaning, laundry and organizing from the week before. I don’t mind the work- once I get started, but producing motivation for laundry is tough people. I’m sure all of you know how a pile of laundry can just look so tempting. Well I decided to try something new this week. I made my Monday a little celebration-  I woke up a little earlier, made myself this tea and enjoyed alone time.
Alone time for myself is pretty scarce around here – the 20 minutes I set aside made all the difference. Just sitting alone, not hearing noise, picking up toys or even messing around in the kitchen gave me a little pick me up. I accomplished all my Monday duties and I even had time to make cheesy omelets for my bunch before they left, so I was happy. Maybe I should approach the beginning of each the week as a celebration- hopefully that will make my toilet cleaning duties easier- We can dream right? Try to take some time for yourself each week and enjoy the silence – and sip tea. Enjoy!!
