Hello Monday :) Yawn...off to the kitchen to make a pot of my new organic herbal coffee that I picked up yesterday at Whole Foods in Austin, Tx. A wonderful chicory carob blend with a hint of hazelnut. Cant wait yum.

Where to start...wake up the baby(who is now 14 and no longer a baby but always my baby). Got to get him to school on time for a change, we have both been slacking alittle and staying up too late with projects and a little bit of summer fever if I am totally honest. Anyway, up the stairs to get him going.

Coffee smells amazing....yum! Off to school.

Next, make sure my youngest is up and make her a few boiled eggs with fresh blueberries on the side. Her favorite breakfast. Off to school again.

Home sweet Home...but what a mess. Where to start. Every table is covered with junk. The sink is full of dishes. Laundry room full of dirty clothes from my two college kiddos, so glad to have them home for the summer.

Spent the weekend packing up and tearing down the dorm room. What a task! Mom, Bean and I worked ourselves to the bone and thank goodness for my oldest son and friends came to our rescue and moved the big stuff, couldn't have made it without them.

So all are home safely and I am looking around my house and do not know where to begin. Summer brings everyone home but so comes the extra laundry and tens times the meals! And the summer schedules...geez! I get overwhelmed just thinking about them!

But...new coffee in hand, roast in the crockpot; I am good for now. I peeked in the laundry room...maybe one more cup of coffee before I go in.

And the dishes...ok, diving in...I always feel better when the sink is empty. Then to make a grocery list, pick up the dog from the kennel, and prepare a summer list of chores for everyone. Summertime here we come!

Long and exhausting but wonderful and fun weekend with my Mom and my oldest daughter.
