A Day In The Life

Boy am I ever tired this morning. I was up far too late last night, and for a change it wasn’t due to insomnia. There was a teaser for a news story that I wanted to see, and it wasn’t on until the 11:00 News. Of course it was one of the last stories to run, so I was up for the duration of the news. By the time I stumbled to bed I had 5 hours left until the alarm went off. Thankfully I fell asleep approximately the same time my head hit the pillow. Now I’m looking forward to doing the same after I get #3 safely delivered to school. Yesterday I had looked forward to walking him to school again, today I only look forward to driving him there, driving back home and falling into bed.

I’ve been trying to get #1 out of bed for the last 30 minutes. I go in there every few minutes and harp on him to get up. I finally gave up and turned it over to Hubby. He managed to get #1 out of bed 30 seconds after entering his room. It’s amazing how effective an almost 40 year old grown man doing a cannon ball on top of a 14 year olds bed is at launching said 14 year old out of the bed. He has now stumbled to the kitchen and is bleary eyed searching the cupboards for acceptable items to break his fast. With as long as it is taking him, I suspect I will need to get more turkey and chicken pot pies soon. That has been the favorite breakfast item as of late. I’ve noticed a drastic increase in the appetites of both #1 and #2 since the start of swim practices this week. It’s amazing how 2 hours of hard swimming can increase the appetites of teenaged boys!
