Monday Countdown

I'm shamelessly copying this from my sister-in-law, Sara (The Sara Adventure), who got this from her friend Jennifer (This is Who I Am), who got it from her friend Candice (Bookish Penguin). I wanted to write but had nothing in particular to write about except a singularly disgusting car ride across town with my boys on Friday. So I found this and thought it would serve as a better blog post. (That's not true. I have a little shame. I did ask permission.)
