no sleeping in here

i almost slept in a little today... didn't have to get out of bed when i was awoken at 8-ish (which is sleeping in, actually, by the standards of the past few weeks) so i fell back to sleep for a couple of hours and the bank woke me at 10am with an auto-call notification on my account, thank you very much not... yesterday was a long busy day at work to finish three long busy weeks of the new job and early busy weekend days to boot, so i have not slept until i woke naturally in more than three weeks... that's probably the way many or even most people live, but i (and this body and mind) were used to sleeping as i felt like sleeping more often than not each week for almost a year and so this is a sudden change made more challenging by the combination of early week days and early weekends, so every day... looking forward to the next weekend i can actually sleep in until i wake naturally (might be all day lol :)

the plan to take the kids to a park blew away with a long heavy rain that lasted all morning into the afternoon so we went to the mall and wandered around a bit until we found the indoor playground (small and very crowned, lots of parents of little ones had the same idea) and then we wandered through stores identifying colors and letters and numbers and then spent a half an hour playing with toys at the toy store and i bought them a couple of things and then we headed to chucky cheese for food and a couple more hours of indoor fun and now jackson took them to sanford's for a while and they'll be back later...

so i am checking in here and checking softball schedules and fantasy football and sitting back resting for a bit until they get back... nice night so the patio door is open (happiness is loving that) and we are enjoying some college football on tv and a beautiful evening...

hope you are making the most of most of your life too :)
