Ahhh What A Great Day
I had a fabulous day today. A fabulous day unless you count not getting enough sleep last night. It seems that it never fails that the nights that I can’t sleep, I have to wake up early the next day. And today was no exception.
Last night I followed my usual routine of cooking, cleaning, and then doing my work on the computer. I call it my time to wind down. Which is exactly what I need after a long day at work. Well when I finally went to bed at 2 a.m., I couldn’t fall asleep. I laid in bed for at least an hour before I drifted off to sleep. Only to be woke up at 0645 a.m. by my nieces who just missed the bus to school. So, I rolled out of bed mumbling and grumbling and stumbling through the house like a drunken sailor. Then had to step out into a cold car in weather that no one should be out in. And of course when I returned it was pointless to go back to sleep because it was my turn to get our youngest son off to school. Then it was time to take my husband to work. So I did the smart thing and decided to take a mental health day from work. And I use the term mental health day loosely, because if I had gone to work, I would have lost my mind. You know the kind of days I am talking about. The ones where you are obviously not trying to get the employee of the month award.
So, I took my husband to work, came home woke up my younger children and my oldest son. Then I at least got to sleep for one more hour before it was time to wake up to take my oldest son to work. But the best part is that when I returned home once again…..I had the house to myself. So, I did what I love to do the most when I am totally alone……….absolutely nothing! That’s right I went back to sleep and slept for like another 4 hours. It was heavenly to say the least.
Well tomorrow it’s back to life as I know it. But at least I get to sleep in. Hope everyone has a great day tomorrow.
