I went to bed last night later than I should - my brain would not turn off. I got up much earlier than I should have this morning- my brain would not turn on. Whose brain can actually turn on at 5:45 AM? I forgot how to get to the bathroom even though it was only ten steps away. The bedroom light was like a cast-off of the star of Bethlehem and the Heavenly host all together. I seriously thought of calling in sick - well not really, but it crossed my mind for a few seconds. Being blinded by the "Christmas Star/Heavenly Host" would surely count as a sick day.
I suppose my brain turned on 2nd period because my ADD kicked in with a vengeance. My lovelies were laughing at me, at times uncontrollably, and I suppose it was a bit comical. I am pretty sure I changed the subject seven times in less than a minute - a new record!
So, reality has definitely set in. Back to school....no more staying up late....no more getting up late.....work. But, I am thankful for a job that I truly love. I am thankful God called me back into full-time education after an eleven year hiatus to raise the most amazing daughter. Sometimes I ask Brit if she thinks it was worth it for me to be home with her all those years, even though finances were tight and my continuing teaching could have allowed us to have a better lifestyle. But her answer was always, "Yes, it was worth it!" She never had to go to a daycare, never had to ride a bus, never had to come home to an empty house. Some children have to do this, and that is certainly not meant to upset those moms who had to work during these years. I just count myself blessed to be able to stay home and raise our child. No regrets from any of us.
The ole brain is beginning to turn off now. Sleep and rest are in my near future.....Oh, two friends need new words! Here we go again.....
