Did I say I was Ready?
Ok, a few posts back I talked about how although summer will be missed, I was ready for it to be over and the kids to get back to school and how I longed to have a "routine" again. My daughter has alread started helping with a couple of cheering squads and she has touched base with all her school friends about who they has for homeroom and what they were wearing first day of school. The husband is back to work from too much time off this summer and I'm looking into the online courses being offered from our Adult Ed. The nights are cooler and there is a bite at your toes when they first hit the floor in the morning...all is right with the world.
NOT!!! This morning I started the routine of getting up at 5:30 and you know what? IT SUCKS!!! Then I tried to pull baby girl out of bed, since she needs to get used to the routine also, and she was miss crabby pants and just turned over and went back to sleep. I hopped into the shower so I could be clear of the bedroom when Hubby got homw from night shift. I about froze my tushy off when I stepped out of it to grab a towel. (of course our furnace runs but I refuse to turn it on before at least October.) My eyes were all stingy because the sun was reflecting through on of the windows and all I wanted to do was hide under those nice warm covers of my comfy bed. No, can't do that! This is too damned early! Next week these kids have to be in their first class at 7:32 a.m. The school wonders why the kids struggle with grades and why they have attitudes all the time...well, maybe if they'd start school a little later so the kids could frigen sleep in it might help. And us parents would be a lot happier also. An hour extra sleep a day would really help the world I think. I know, I know, after a week or two of this my body will be adjusted to this new time schedule and everything WILL be right with the world. But for now I just am not ready to get up this early. Can't I hang on to my summer "sleeping in" just a few days longer? No, I won't...I'll continue on this God Forbidden schedule and in no time it will be just the norm. But for now I want to just sit and bitch about it...I'm sure there are others out there that feel the same way. Have a beautiful summer day people...enjoy it now while you can...and cherish the warmth of the sun on your face one last time before Jack comes nipping at your beaker. Peace Out!
