My Reality

Ever had one of those days that seemed so dreadfully busy but at the end you felt like you accomplished nothing? Well, that was my yesterday!
I was so tired by the end of the day, I got the kids ready for bed, gave the baby her bottle (hubby finished putting her to bed while I took my shower), caught a glimpse of my bed as I was drying off so I just went to lay down for just a minute....and then I woke up this morning to the dreaded beeping of the alarm clock! Could they make those things any more annoying? I have no idea how many times I hit the snooze button before my husband told me I was going to run the kids late. Oh my, I cannot wait until sleep-in summer days!
So, I finally got up...begrudgingly of course and started the ritual...coffee, get dressed, get baby, change diaper, bottle, off to school we go! Whew! Another day, but it is FRIDAY! YAY!
As I drove to school, in my half asleep daze I am thinking of all the things I have to do even still, TODAY! It makes me tired to think of it already. Pull up to the school, hugs and kisses to kids and off they went. Makes me happy that they love their school. They say it is like home away from home.
On my drive back home, it is quiet because the baby has fallen asleep. I am stopped at a red light with Me, Myself and I. The sun begins to shine through my van's window, warming the side of my face. I am taken away to another place for just a few moments and it feels nice. The light turns green and I am back in reality. MY reality, MY life, and it feels good. I wouldn't change a thing. Crazy how that works huh? Grass is NEVER greener on the other side!
