This morning I rose in a different setting - my parents house.
The notion when I sleep over their house is "Don't sleep past 5:30AM or you'll never make it to work ontime". (especially with a toddler).
...and for anyone that knows me, well you know I am not slap happy in the morning. I am blessed to be alive...but not slap happy to venture into the day.
So usually when we camp out over my parents, I have to con myself into getting up early
(this is where I should be honest insert that I actually have to con myself every morning to get up).
I'd have to say last night was not a restful night. I had a kid poking me, tossing and turning and then I had the pleasure of hearing their smoke detector chirp consistently.
Nevertheless, I did pretty well waking up with the small amount of sleep I had (kudos to me).
I even had enough time to stop for a cup of coffee, which never happens anymore.
My entire drive into work consisted of listening to the radio and deciding where I would stop along the way - starbucks or dunkin donuts (i know awesome morning thoughts)...
Quiet honestly, when I think back...the thought of it all was pretty obsessive!
- Do I want to get a soy caramel macciato because I haven't had one in ages and it oh soothes my soul and takes me to another place?or
- Do I want to get a coffee (and possibly a donut) from dunkin donuts? Why, because everyone runs on dunkin, you know?
- Which drive through line would be the longest?
- Do I want to stop immediately before I get on the beltway or do I want to stop 5-10 minutes prior to work?
...those sort of questions - back and forth, over and over.
Yep, obsessive!!!
Long story short, I ended up at dunkin donuts
I picked up a cup of coffee (and a donut), had the pleasure of not waiting in line (I went inside and ordered)
Oh it felt so good.
No crazy kid in tote (another story)
I listened to an adult radio station vs. the kiddie CD
and to top it off, a super early arrival to work...
I got myself all situated and settled at my desk and spilled my coffee
Sucks
