Good Morning

Why on earth is it so hard to get up lately? I know in winter it’s hard to get up in the morning because you’re all warm and snuggly in your bed and refuse to face a cold morning waiting for the shower water to warm up. But it’s summer. It should be easy. And yet each and every morning Cooper wakes me up at 6 a.m. to be let outside and when I climb back in bed at 6:10 a.m. I fall asleep as though I haven’t had sleep in days. And at 6:30 a.m. I wake up and groan and moan about having to get up. It has happened every morning for about a month now. Without fail.

I long for the day when I don’t HAVE to get up at 6:30 a.m. anymore. Actually, I take that back. Because I know when I become a mom I’ll have to get up every few hours to feed The Kid. But that doesn’t really count because when The Kid naps, Mom naps. That’ll be a rule that will NEVER be broken. So I know I’ll have sleep.

I think it’s the work thing – I don’t want to work anymore. A few months ago I came up with a timeline for when I’d quit working altogether. I counted something like 447 work days until I’d be at home. I don’t know what day I’m down to now, but it’s obviously subject to change since it’s all dependent on when I get preggers.

So let’s all hope that’s soon. Because I foresee a day when I might explode into tears at my office and quit just because I don’t want to work anymore. And that’s not a good thing.

    You sound a lot like me. I envision that same day in my office, minus the tears. I just hope to God there’s a big lottery winning attached to that act. Hang in there. You’ll be pregnant before you know it. What are you doing tonight?

    Yes, Tara, but your impending new “job” will be much more rewarding than a typical 9-5 one, won’t it? I can’t wait to meet Baby S!
