When my alarm clock went off this morning, I had no idea what was going on. Give a girl 10 days off from life and she forgets everything, apparently. Even the most basic, bane-of-her-existence type things like, say, the function of her alarm clock.
Eventually I remembered what the heck it was and how the frick to shut it off and what time really I was supposed to get up (silly snooze buttons). Then I remembered how hard it is to get sleepy little childrens ready for school and out the door. I also remembered how much I hate yelling at them that we’re FOR THE LOVE OF GOD late again.
But I got them packed off to their dad’s for morning drop-off and I got myself all the way to ThePlaceWeShallNotDiscuss without once forgetting how to get anywhere. Except when I pulled in the driveway is when I remembered that I forgot my laptop at home. You know – it was that thing I stepped around twice this morning so I could get out the door. Silly Katie.
Oh well. That’s the way that goes I guess. Now I just have to muddle through my inbox chock-o-block full of reminders and deadlines and questions. If I can do that for three weeks, then I get another two weeks off. Hooray! I don’t know about you, but I’m already thinking: pajamas and take-out for dinner! Ohhhh yeah.

Welcome back to the world! We have missed you. And, at least you stepped around the laptop instead of on it.

It was sooo hard to get up and going this morning, and I only had 5 days off! 3 weeks ’til Christmas break! YIPEE!
