I Don’t Think?

March 2nd, 2010 | Humor, Personal, Work

This past week proved to be a typical winter in the Poconos. Just as we were starting to believe that we got let off easy, winter struck. Arianna had an early dismissal on Tuesday and then was off from school on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. The lovely weather also closed Len’s company on Thursday and Friday and left me unable to send or receive my work via Fedex due to the closure of roads in our area. With the entire family home, work to be completed, sledding to be done, snow thrones to be built, and hot chocolate to be made, our schedules have all been disrupted a bit.

So after an unexpected winter break, I set my iphone alarm last night in order to wake up early enough to get Arianna off to her Odyssey of the Mind practice before school today. The competition is this coming weekend and the pressure is on, especially with the lost days of preparation. My alarm was set for 6:30 and Len’s was set for 7:00. At 6:48 I was grabbed by the arm with a startle. Len said to me in a panic, “Jen, I don’t think you woke up!!!”

“Hmmmmm. Really? What gave that away”, I wondered. “Could it be my body still laying here beside you, sleeeeeeping??”

Despite oversleeping (because I set my alarm for 6:30PM), I woke up laughing this morning. Not only did I wake up laughing, but we made it to Odyssey on time.
