Most people "hate" alarm clocks. We don't say hate in our house. Well, we're not supposed to. It's a bad word. I catch the kids saying it, Stephen saying it, me saying it (not often), but I don't like it. But I hear all the time "I hate my alarm clock". Well, I don't like mine when it first goes off, but part of me is feeling some relief in being up so early & so busy since school started. Summer schedule is fun, but around the afternoon I'm ready to be lazy. Sooooooo...in usual Mandy style, I overbook myself and exhaust myself early on. Would I have it any other way?? Well, I would rather be poolside with my bestie, BUT I love volunteering.
So, alarm at 5:30 a.m. every day this week. EVERY day. Shower, because of morning commitments every day this week. EVERY day. Usually, I can put jeans on, pull my hair in a ponytail and head out, coffee in hand, but not this week. High school drop off, elementary school drop off, back home to get middle schooler, middle school drop off. Every day. Most mornings having to either stay at middle school or go back to elementary school. Most mornings this week, my poor alarm clock has gotten smacked with my right hand, shoving Bubba the Love Sponge and his crew into oblivion for five more minutes...snooze button is a great thing. I glare at it. I curse it. Then I shower. And start my day. Coffee drips while I get ready.
So, today...the busy day of all busy days. And the highlight? I won't bore you with the whole day, but I did babysit my nephew today. He's four months old. Our black lab mix, who we've had for 6 years, looked at us like, "What the HELL are you doing? Did you have ANOTHER one??" She looked so mad!!!!!!!!!!! I laughed so hard!!!!!!!! I think she wiped her brow when she saw me leave this evening with him, his diaper bag, and the extra 9 year old we have spending the night. She was like, "ohhhhmmmyyyygooossshhhh".
Still laughing. Sigh. I shall sleep so well tonight. Tomorrow is Saturday.
