A Lazy Sunday (Write a Post in 8 Lines)

The day starts with the knowledge that I get an extra hour!

I spend most of the day on the couch in my PJ's finishing grading for report cards and conferences.

The laundry machines swish and rumble in the back hall.

When I finally do take a shower, I decide to clean it at the same time and run out of hot water before I finish my own shower.

Because it's a lazy Sunday, left over crock pot lasagna is on the menu tonight for dinner.

Maybe it isn't so lazy today... Ed's outside on the roof of the garage winterizing it.

Probably I should go out and check on him to make sure he's OK...

The bad thing about this "falling back" business is that it's already getting dark and it's only 3:00.
