sleeping in?
8:00 AM
i do not have to work today in recognition of independence day and my plan was to sleep in! wooo! my eyes popped open at 6:00am even though i did not go to sleep until 2am. i quickly squeezed my lids tight and tried all of the tricks i use to make myself fall asleep. i tossed and i turned. i thought about my day, working out my busy party schedule in my head; party at 1 at my mom's, party with friend's also starting at 1. i day dreamed about going back to school; personal training? web design? graphic design? and i contemplated my kid's school situations next year; chelsea starting high school, raven being unhappy at florida high and how we could get her back into sas. i remembered where my ipod headphones were, thank god since i havent seen them in 2 weeks, i considered getting up and doing dishes, cleaning the bathroom, starting laundry... still i just laid there wishing myself more sweet dreams. i remembered how fast the grass has been growing since it had started raining again and how was i ever going to get the mower started ( last time i tried and failed, i just drove around my neighborhood til i found a landscaper and dragged him back to my house). i kicked around reading some of the book that i am sooo enjoying and believe it or not, have never read before (a tree grows in brooklyn) and also seem to never have time to read. i thought of all the errands i need to run before i go to any of my 4th of july gatherings; grocery, target, pick up chelsea's boyfriend, the gym. i decided i wanted to just get right up and go to the gym but then i recalled that the hours were funky because of the holiday so i postponed rising even longer. i reviewed my relationship with arden and my life in this house and my children's happiness and my job and you name it, i thought about it. then, without further hesitation i arose, and the kicker...the thing that made rising so easy after 2 hours of restlessness..... the diet coke in my fridge. sad. 0 Comments |
