6:16: Ignore personal need to tinkle.
6:17: Can't ignore. Crawl to bathroom.
6:19: Crawl back to bed.
6:20: Think about starting day. Decide not to. No one needs ride to school. Thank God.
6:21: Feel brief sense of gratitude. Never have to drive carpool again.
6:22: Gratitude this early exhausts me. Stay in bed.
6:23: Review "to-do" list. Decide not to do anything.
7:00: Turn on TV. "Today Show" full of bad news.
7:01: Thanks for that, "Today Show."
7:02: Smell coffee. Time to haul big arse downstairs.
7:03: Kvetch while walking downstairs. Things hurt.
7:04: Greet dog. Greet hubby.
7:05: Pretend to understand where hubby's freakish early morning energy comes from.
7:06: Feed dog. Clean up drool. Regale hubby with complaints.
7:07: Hubby pretends to listen. Nice hubby.
7:08: Retreat upstairs.
7:09: Turn on laptop. Sip coffee.
7:10: Wait for hush-hush, well-paid ghost SJG blogger to send me today's post.
Meaning of SJG will need to be updated at some point to universally replace Girl with Grandma... and then the wake up to take kids to school may reappear.... best to plan ahead and set proper limits of grandparenthood before you sink back to your motherly ways. Same warning applies to grandpets in case you have not already caved into foster day care...
ReplyDeleteI'm so ready to be Short Jewish Grandma. I'm so ready! There will be no limits! Whatever they want, they get. That's the SJG way!
