Is it really only 9am...

...not anymore (it's lunchtime and as I write this I'm eating a leftover salad and preparing for a 2pm meeting) but I found myself chuckling around 9am today as to how it felt the day should be almost over.

It started with dumping a load of laundry in the washer just before 5am, then coffee while balancing my checkbook, then a 6am CrossFit workout (you can see the day's workout at http://www.crossfitbroadway.com/) that - combined with speedwork yesterday at 6am leaves me barely able to walk and looking forward to my Thursday chiropractor visit! Today is a "cross-train" day on my running schedule which means to do something besides run. After the gym we all had breakfast, got dressed, I finished laundry, walked the dog and we got the kids out the door (always an adventure).

I drove them to daycare with all of us singing to my & Spency's new favorite Mumford & Sons song (if you saw the grammys you should know the tune). It was a nice change to the usual singing of the teddy bear picnic song. Then Spencer got a haircut (no joke...they have a salon at the club where he and Shoshi go to daycare), we dropped Shoshi in the toddler one room (see picture below), loaded up Spency's flopsy (stuffed dog) and goggles (he likes bringing multiple items to school), dropped him off in preschool one, changed his shoes (Mr. Rogers?), hugged good-bye and off to the office I went for the day to begin.

I snapped a few daycare shots with my iPhone. Spencer wouldn't stand still to show off his new haircut.
