Trisha Fleming's day off

I never realized just how tired I was until I was able to sleep totally uninterrupted!

Today I took a day off... Well, it was actually just ½ of a day, but it felt like a whole day to me. I still woke up at my normal time, and helped Kyle get the kids dressed, but after that I was like “See ya later, holla, bye!”

In my mind I had things all planned out, I was going to thoroughly clean the bathroom, straighten Zoë’s room, put away Miles’ clothes, and change the linen in our bedroom. Here’s what really happened….NOTHING! I fluffed my pillow, turned on the Today Show, and fell asleep. I woke up once wondering if the kids were behaving for Kyle but I was either too tired, or confident that he was alright so I went back to sleep. I woke up about 3 hours later with drool plastered to the side of my face, moseyed on into the bathroom, and took the longest hottest shower I have taken in about 8 years. You must understand…It’s really hard to shower with an 8 year old who almost always has to poop as soon as you turn the water on, and a 2 year old who likes to pull the shower door back, point at you and say eeeeewwwww. After my shower I cooked myself breakfast. I ate 5 pieces of bacon a bowl of cheerios and a handful of unwashed grapes Yes, the breakfast of champions… I started to brush my teeth, but since no one was there to smell my fresh breath I opted not to…instead I looked myself in the mirror and smiled… I HAD A DAY OFF!

Of course my day came to an end when my PDA reminded me that I had stuff to do… I had to register for spring classes, return some phone calls, and respond to a dozen of e-mails… oh life is too short...

And to my day off… I’ll miss you, and I’ll be thinking about you all week :)
