sleeping in

i was more ready for this saturday morning than i have been for any saturday morning in a long time...i was ready to sleep in past 6:15.  i was aiming for 1 or 2 this afternoon and had taken the proper steps to make it happen...all the right steps but one.  i built a wall of blankets around my bed to keep the sun out, turned off my cell phone, drank a cup of water about an hour before i went to sleep so i could use the bathroom one last time right before i fell asleep so i wouldn't have to wake up to do it in the morning.  i was so ready.  7:01 and theres a big fuzzball biting my hair and jumping on my face and ready to play.  i forgot that just because i was ready to sleep in didn't mean that Sonny was ready to do the same.  i took him outside and crawled back in my bed.  i made it to 9:30...it was a good try.

speaking of crawling back in bed.  i am convinced that there is no better feeling than that of waking up about 30 minutes or an hour before you have to be awake and able to go back to sleep.  throughout my glorious academic career i would occasionally wake up about an hour before i needed to be, take a shower, get ready, and then go back to sleep.  weird i know, but it was very enjoyable.  sometimes though i wouldn't wake back up for my class...it's ok im a semester away from graduating

one of the things i missed the least when i was away from home at college was the saturday morning cleaning .  this morning, i kid you not, no more than 2 minutes after being awake, i found myself with a broom in one hand a dust pan in the other.  oh the joys of living back at home.  my mom says that if you let dust build up too much then it turns into sand...guess that's how God made the beach.
