A Furry One's Tale

The average morning...

Alarm goes off at 5:30am. I hit snooze - I vaguely remember that today, like everyday, I am supposed to get up and walk on treadmill for 30 minutes.

5:45 am - alarm goes off again, I hit snooze and tell myself it's okay - I will walk tomorrow

6:00 am - alarm goes off and this time after I hit snooze but actually sit up in bed.

6:05 am - move from bed and head to bathroom. I shower with my Bath and Body Orange Ginger shampoo. Supposed to revitalize me. Only works when I get it in my eyes.

6:15 am - daughter storms into bathroom "mom, you forgot to turn off your alarm clock AGAIN" I say nothing because I forgot on purpose ---- it wakes her up and that's all that matters.

6:20am - waking up boys.

Get dressed.

Wake up boys again.

Start drying hair.

Wake up boys again.

Put eggs in water to boil.

Wake up boys again.

Make oatmeal.

Wake up boys again. This time it works because I have threatened to make them get dressed AT school if they can't do it at home.

Put on earrings, rings and cell phone - gather briefcase

Eat breakfast.

7:00 am - leave house.

7:02 am - return to house to get whatever someone forgot - sometimes its a kid - sometimes its a hat - rarely is it something really important like homework or band instrument. That will be remembered later with a frantic call to me. (I never race home - they have to learn the consequences of forgetting. These calls are becoming less frequent as the kids realize that all I will say is "that's too bad.")

7:15 am - drop off boys at school.

7:20 am - drop off daughter at school.

7:30 am - Stop at starbucks for a cup of coffee - using my punch card I count down to free cup of coffee (every 7th cup is free).

8:00 am - arrive at work.
