I Need a Thumbtack on my Snooze Button


This morning, 1/7/13.  Unfortunately, this is pretty much my typical morning.  ** denotes my inner conversation **

4:15 Husband gets out of bed and gets in shower. **When the water shuts off I’m going to get up and shower, and have a relaxing cup of coffee w/ hubs, and be nice and awake when I leave for work at 6:15**

4:20 Hear loud bang.  Get up to make sure husband did not fall down in shower and is unconscious.  All is well, back to bed.

4:25 Water cuts off  **What did I want to do when he got out of the shower?  Oh yeah, get up and have coffee.  Did I tell him I was going to have coffee with him?  That'd be pretty messed up if I told him, and then stood him up.  I don't think I told him.  Even if I did, he probably forgot.  Well, I know what I’m wearing for the day, I can spare another 20 minutes of sleep**

4:55 Wake up from a dream in which I had already took a shower, and was having coffee with my husband.  **DAMN IT.  Well, he’ll be leaving for work soon, there goes that opportunity.  I’ll get up at 5:15.**

5:15  **Ugggh I’m so tired.  Do I know what I’m wearing?  I thought I did, but was that part of the wake-up dream or when I was actually awake?  Well, either way, I’ll do my make up in the car, so I have 10 more minutes.  Ugh, my new years resolution was to not drive while distracted, which really meant my cell phone, but I suppose putting on make up is also distracting.  I already told my students, and my mom, that this was my new years resolution so I really shouldn’t break it.  What’s the date anyway?  I think it’s my friend’s birthday.  It is.  Should I call before work?  I know SHE doesn’t use her phone while driving.  What a good person.  I need to be more like her, and just better at life in general, like getting up to have coffee with my husband.  How do people go to the gym in the morning?  Oh, have to decide which dance class I’m taking.  Am I getting soft in the middle?  Damn Starbucks gift cards have me getting triple venti white mochas every morning.  Maybe I’ll do crunches before I get in the shower.  Okay, decision time - I’ll either just do a LITTLE make up in the car, or just not wear make up.  Ugh, then everyone always says “Are you feeling okay?”   AH!  I’ll do my make up here, won’t blow dry my hair.  Snooze-time!!**

5:55  **Hmm…5:55, well, there goes leaving at 6:15, which means I can’t take 66 unless I wait until 6:55 to leave.  Did I make copies for school today?  Do my kids have guidance or art?  Which class finished their projects on Friday?  Ugh, I need to get up….**

6:10  CRAP!!!  What am I doing!?  Okay, run through your head what you’re wearing, how you’re doing your hair, which route your taking to school, and what you’ll need to copy and when to be ready for the day, and then GET UP.

6:30  I. Hate. Myself.
