A New Day

Good Morning! I'm up before the sunrise today. Anyone who knows me, understands that I am not a cheerful, perky morning person. During the summer, I sleep in...every, single morning. Today I woke up at 4:30 a.m. I laid in bed for over an hour, thinking I'd fall back asleep. But it didn't happen. So here I am.

I forgot to make coffee yesterday. This mistake forced me to go downstairs to get my coffeemaker. I lost my footing on top step with a thud, bump, thump...not sure how many times my backside banged against the steps. Forget the coffee. My heart was racing plenty fast now to get my blood pumping. But I sure didn't feel like pulling myself up off the ground. I'm happy to say I sustained only a couple of rug burns and bruising. Sometimes I wish we had security cameras to capture our every move. I'm thinking I'd have some funny videos to watch.

And now I have to get myself together, to take my youngest to her court date. Yes, that traffic ticket she got. The one she lost and couldn't find, didn't remember what time she was supposed to be there. She waited until yesterday to call and find out it is this morning. I'd like to send her by herself, but her legal guardian is supposed to accompany her. That would be me.

Have a great day people.

Dang. Falling down he stairs, no coffee, and court? Doesn't sound like a fun day!

Did you know that as the parent you technically are not the legal guardian unless you petition the court and are granted legal guardianship?

Oof! I hate falling down! ALWAYS makes me want to cry for my mommy. I'm glad you're okay; hope today was better!
