12 February - Ugh.

After a great Monday, Tuesday came back with a vengeance. I slept through my alarm for thirty minutes this morning. Robbie's fever is gone but he is very congested and I was up with him several times last night. No excuses, however. That's why they call it a challenge. It isn't easy.

So I got up this morning and stayed awake through about half a cup of coffee and half a page of writing and then, I confess, I slept on the couch for about half an hour. I don't know if that counts as complete failure or perhaps half success? At any rate, it's not exactly the morning routine I am going for. Tomorrow is a new day, and, I hope, one with a better beginning.
