ok, so the mean mamma is thoroughly enjoying the children's day off from school..........by laying in the bed til the impossible time of 7:20...listening to npr, and by reading the newspaper til 7:35...would have read it longer but an information-obsessed family member took it from me........and now...i sit blogging in my robe with a luscious cup of coffee at a tme when i would normally be in the car somewhere between dhs and jres..........sheer bliss.......i am aiming for starting work at 8:30 or so........i have yet to check out cnn.com to read their headline news......life is good.......
