...yet another happy ending

I ran a huge tub of water last night and locked myself in the bathroom – probably should have sound-proofed the walls and doors – oh well, I’ll add that minor request to my next set of house plans. I tried to relax but my head just pounded in rhythm with my heart – I was begging for the Imitrex to kick in. I really should have gone straight to bed, but it had only been 3 days since the last time these tresses had seen shampoo (not the first time and won’t be the last) so, it just couldn’t wait! The pounding head followed me to bed – I tossed and turned quite a bit through the night.

I have been awake since a little before 7am (headache no more) – that’s incredibly early for this chick. My brain is going at 1,000 miles per hour – always so much to do – and always something to interrupt the so much to do – I just keep truckin’. This afternoon my “so much to do” will be interrupted by a nap – no doubt about it.

I cannot believe that school starts in a month – somewhat later in other cities/states – but rather soon nonetheless. You know that feeling you get when you stop by Target for last minute Halloween candy and you see Christmas stuff from wall to wall – you roll your eyes and become instantly overwhelmed with the who/what/when & where of the upcoming holidays? That is EXACTLY how seeing all these school supplies makes me feel – my kids, well… they are traumatized as well. But just like Christmas I’ll wait until the last minute – I’ll have to go to 7 different stores before I am able to add checkmarks beside each item on my list– it gets more bizarre each year. I do think aside from the dread of the early morning alarm, the rush to get everyone up, dressed, fed, and transported (I feel like I just made my kids sound like can goods – but y’all know better) and the premonitions that someone is going to call home from school with a headache – this school year will be different, unlike any other we have yet to experience. The opportunities are endless - as I have always been taught - each new opportunity is a chance to make yet another happy ending.

Any Questions?
