Today is a no school day for
my kids. I slept in until 7:00 this morning. Slept in til 7!? Seriously, my
inner pre-kids self still finds it hard to believe that 7:00 is sleeping in. I
was asleep last night by 10:30 which is early for me (pre or post kids) and I
honestly felt so good when I woke up at 7:00 that I was afraid it was 8:00,
thinking I’d abandoned my kids. Ha Ha. However, my kids are fully aware that
they inherited their “early riser” gene from their dad so they didn’t think
anything of it when I didn’t actually get out of bed until 7:30. They were
playing so well together and continue to be 3 hours later …..aaaahhhhh.
Since this year is my 20-year
high school reunion I’m going to flash back for a moment to 20 years ago today
(give or take a few weeks). If memory serves me correct my high school’s
morning bell was at 7:45. So that means, at 7:00 I was still sleeping only to
be awoken by Carrie’s wake up call at about 7:10 or so signaling to me that she
was leaving her house and would be picking me up for school in about 10
minutes. Arrived at school on time and ate my dry cereal breakfast with Caryn
and/or Ashley in first period child psych.
Full disclosure: most days I
don’t get out of bed for 6:30 am.
