I am not sure why it was an odd day for me, but it just felt a little out of sync. I was exhausted for one thing (not sure why). It was almost impossible to drag myself out of bed at 6am. In fact, I crawled out of bed at 6:20 telling the kid that he was late (oh so mean, I know!) and to hurry! When he rushed to the shower, I laid back down on the edge of the bed, while my sweet puppies crawled into my deserted warm spot. It’s a ‘you leave it, you loose it policy around here’. I finally managed to guilt myself into getting up and finishing “Mom duties”, but it was a pathetic breakfast spread of (generic…duh) Cinnamon Toast Crunch and organic 2% milk. I forgot to get cash for his lunch, so we dug thru the change jar ‘till we had $2.75. The bus arrived early, @ 7:03, and I was so relieved! Then I thought, “What the hell is wrong with me?!”.
This thought followed me throughout the entire work day. I just couldn’t get it together. I was exhausted, and discombobulated. I couldn’t focus on a single task. Worse came to worse when my mother asked me if I could watch my niece while she ran some errands. I agreed and she left with the promise (bribe) of bringing me back a cheese burger. Dakota slept most of the time, but did eventually wake up and we actually ended up having the best time ever crawling around on the floor making up songs that only a 9 month old would appreciate.
Anyway, the day just dragged on until I just couldn’t take it anymore. I eventually charged up the iPod and put on my shorts and t-shirt and headed outside into the magnificent sun. I managed to run a few miles…..literally only 2….and was done! At least Mags was happy he had a walk, and I received some much needed vitamin D. It was about this time that I started receiving friend requests left and right from Facebook. It was so wonderful to hear from friends of long ago, and is what actually made my day fantastic on a 10pt scale. I also had a great lecture to attend at the library. A local Nursery owner spoke about landscaping. I am now all pumped to do some serious landscaping but, unfortunately lack the land and funds to follow thru….ah well, I guess my geniusness will remain on paper till needed.
Since then, I have been trying to keep up with the bombardment of social networking demands and studying for my NCE’s (still). Tomorrow, I plan on catching up with all the behind work to do at work, wrapping up my private Art Lessons I’ve been giving for the last 3 years, and doing a little much needed baby shower shopping for this weekend. Yikes.
