Good Times, Bad Times

Good times: I wake up between 7 and 8 am. I bask in the sunlight for a few minutes before getting out of bed.
Bad times: I wake up between 10 and 11 am. I curl up in a ball and stay in bed for another 45 minutes.

Good times: I make the bed and do yoga.
Bad times: I make the bed. I ... will ... do ... yoga.

Good times: I go downstairs to check my e-mail, finances, and favorite blogs while I eat breakfast.
Bad times: I go downstairs to check my e-mail, finances, and favorite blogs while I eat breakfast. Then I read old posts and everyone's comments. And I visit blogs listed on blogs listed on blogs. And I Stumble It for awhile.

Good times: I do some belly dancing!
Bad times: Heck no!

Good times: I jump in for a quick shower.
Bad times: I jump in for a shower. After all the soap is rinsed away, I stay there under the hot streaming water. I watch the pretty drops of water on the glass door. I lose all track of time.

Good times: I empty my hamper and throw a load of laundry in when I go back downstairs.
Bad times: Not!

Good times: I do a little something -- pay bills, post on my blog, work on my website, file a few papers, tidy around the house, or even go shopping.
Bad times: Two words -- computer games.

Good times: When the kids get home, I check to make sure they've done their homework and their jobs before they go outside to play.
Bad times: "Sure, honey, whatever you say."

Good times: I cook a simple yet healthy and delicious meal for dinner.
Bad times: I send my oldest to bring home some take-out. Thank goodness she can drive now -- it saves so much on delivery!

Good times: When my husband gets home from work, I greet him at the door with a kiss. I listen to how his day was, and I spend an hour -- or (gasp!) two -- watching TV with him.
Bad times: When my husband gets home from work, I grunt at him. I'm still on the computer, begging for 8 pm to finally get here!

Good times: I go to bed. I read a little bit and do some gentle stretching and relaxation exercises to help me sleep.
Bad times: I fall into bed. I curl back up into a little ball. I can't believe it takes so long to finally fall asleep!
