After Dark
On nights, like tonight, when I work until closing time, I don't get home until about 1:00 a.m.
I come home to:
dirty dishes
unfinished chores
a hungry kitty
a sleeping husband
a puppy who eagerly laps my face
First, I tiptoe into the bedroom to kiss my sleeping husband right smack on the forehead, then the lips.
Next, I take the puppy outside to do what he needs to do.
Outside I:
soak up the silence
smile at the sparkling frost
bask in the light of the nearly full moon
After tucking the puppy into bed, I am still full of energy.
This early, early morning I:
put away dishes
washed dishes
folded all three loads of clean laundry
made husband's lunch
cleaned kitty's box
Lately, all my energy comes out to play after dark.

Time
I need to leave for work in 14 minutes and I still haven't put make-up on, done the dishes, made the bed, or folded the two bags of clean laundry that I washed on Saturday afternoon.
Ever feel behind?
I have, however, worked on my memoir, researched for a paper I am working on, read NieNie and CJane, walked the dog, played ball with the dog, had dinner, talked to my mother-in-law, and updated my Amazon Christmas wish list.
Priorities, mine are ever changing and sometimes misplaced.
What about you?

On the Way
Seems another friend of mine has a baby on the way! The baby will arrive at the end of July 2010. Congrats, friend (you know who you are) <3 What a lucky baby to have you for a mom xoxo
So happy that my friend family is ever growing!
