We Fall Down But...

It's been far too long since I've posted a new entry. It's been so long that I actually had to try a couple different passwords before I was able to successfully log in :-(. I love spring! It is a time of renewal. I love everything about spring with the exception of allergies (which I have learned to manage with my drug cocktail). Oh...and...I'm also not loving this daylight savings time. Don't get me wrong...I love the concept of longer days and more sunshine, but here I am 3 days after setting my clock forward and I'm still struggling to adjust. I'm not tired til 2 AM thanks to my 1 AM bedtime prior to the time change which only leaves me with 4 hours of shut-eye before embarking on the next busy day. Yesterday I unconsciously hit snooze and didn't wake up til 8 o'clock!!! That resulted in me taking the kids to school in my PJs, coming back home to get ready, and starting my workday nearly 2 hours behind schedule. I did a little better today...I still hit snooze, but I managed to get up in time to get 90% dressed before my designated leaving time. This translates to jeans, a tank, and the rocks (fake Crocs)I wear when taking the dogs in and out. I dropped the kiddos and headed to work. When I arrived, the security guard asked if I was tired. Don't know exactly what tipped her off... Was it the dried up toothpaste on my cheek? Or Maybe it was that my hair looked like Coolio since I had taken out the ties that I use to secure it at night, but hadn't shaped my fro. After parking, I sat in my car and lotioned my face and combed out my hair & added a clip. I put on my sweater, earrings, belt, and sneakers. Then I was ready to face the world or at least my co-workers~. Can you guess what time is is!?! Time for more of that good ole life maintenance. Time to regain control of my life (and my dignity). PJs Monday...Coolio Tuesday...Wednesday's gotta be better!!! My goal for tonight is to be asleep by 11. In the meantime, I'm gonna get out of the office for lunch and relish in the breezy sunshine. Yes, we fall down but the important thing is that we get up :-).
