The Winter Blahs

I just woke up!  I have this big blue rocker recliner in my school room that I refuse to use for read aloud anymore because I was constantly falling asleep in it and my kids would cover me up, turn out all the lights, and run away until I came to.  Today I couldn't resist its pull!  I read aloud in my regular chair, but it is such a gray day outside that I fell into the big blue monster and was asleep in seconds.  True to form, my boys covered me up and turned out the lights!  I am wondering when some enterprising home school grad is going to come up with a magic pill to help tired moms get through homeschooling in the winter, when it is gray and cold and rainy and the only civilized thing to do is curl up in a big blue rocker and read everyone to sleep!
