Here’s my fun day so far:

Okay, so I usually wake up sometime between 5:08 and 5:28 (there is something in my head that tells me I HAVE TO WAKE UP ON AN “8″). This morning I got up at 4:45. That really isn’t that much earlier than usual, I know this.

I had to take my Aunt and Uncle to the airport so they could enjoy a week in Hawaii and I could enjoy a week babysitting my 3 cousins. (more about that to follow)

I dropped them off and raced back to my house in their sweet family van. The King and I are a “one car family”, so in order to be able to baby-sit the kids this weekend, I needed their vehicle. This was the only solution.

The plan was to be all ready for work and to the bus stop by 6:10. I tried really hard to get ready super-duper fast this morning, while being extra quiet so I didn’t wake The King-oh, and all the while trying NOT TO THROW UP. I was ready by about 6:15. Just in time TO MISS THE BUS.

Since I was up and ready, I couldn’t really go back to bed. Even though the next bus wasn’t scheduled until 7:04. I decided to try to finish the movie I fell asleep watching last night. It’s a German movie called “Mostly Martha”. Since it’s in German with subtitles, I could keep the volume down low and just read it while wrapped in the cozy blanket on the couch.

Fast forward to 7:10. Wake up, run to put my shoes on, my glasses on, grab my HUGE BINDER that I have to take to work today, my purse, and the “Harry Potter” book I’m currently reading.

Run to the bus stop.

By about 7:18 I realized I had missed the 7:04 bus. Duh.

I see The King pull off for work. He didn’t even look at me standing there all depressed, cold, and lonely. I guess he assumed I hadn’t missed the bus. It’s not his fault.

I eventually caught the 7:24 bus and made it to work by 8:00. Not bad for being up at 4:45, don’t you think?

Only 8 more hours to go.
