Diary of a Middle-aged Woman

02/01/07 - LATE!!

I don't know how this happened, but I woke up late this morning - an hour later than I normally do. This is just not like me. I didn't pack my lunch last night and didn't pick-out what outfit I would wear today. I just had to watch 'American Idol'! Now I'm kicking myself for my lack of planning. "I'll have plenty of time in the morning to make my lunch and pick-out what I'm going to wear," I stupidly thought.

The alarm clock rang, but I didn't hear it. My husband, who is also my back-up alarm clock, woke me up with, "Turn that thing off!" "Thing? What thing? Oh the alarm clock! YIKES! Look at the time!" I slept through an hour of it sounding-off. How do I do that? My husband woke me up several times, but I just hit the snooze and fell back to sleep. Now I'll be paying for it!

You know how it is when you wake up late. The whole day you find yourself trying to catch-up. All day you have the feeling you forgot something, or you're late for something. I hate that feeling! I was stumped as to what the date was too. Is it January or February? I'll be doing that all day! UGH!

But yet I'm sitting here typing away when I should be getting ready for work. I just had to write "something" for today. I know this is lame, but I'm not quite awake (I have time for only one cup of coffee today. I'll be missing that second cup!)

Well, I have a lot to do so, I better just end this now. Hope your day started off better than mine.

Happy January, oops, February 1st!
