The alarm went off at 5:07 this morning, signaling the end to the past 79 days of having it my way -- summer vacation.
I hesitated to get out of bed. I knew once I did, it would really be over. I smacked the snooze button, threw my arm over my eyes, and waited. My husband lay gently snoring beside me, completely oblivious to the torment I was going through.
Maybe it was a dream. Maybe it was really only the middle of June and I still had two glorious months ahead of me. I mean, summer flew by so quickly that it could have been a dream, right?
No more lounging around in the morning, reading any book I could find. No more afternoon naps, my faithful Puggle snoozing loudly by my side. No more grabbing a snack whenever I felt hungry.
No more summer.
I took a deep breath and decided I needed to be brave. I mean, millions of people go to work every day. I threw back the covers, turned off the alarm, fumbled for my slippers, and headed for the shower.
Only 189 more days to go until summer returns.
Good luck each and every of your 196 days that are left. I don't even want to count the days yet! We have been back for almost three weeks. So summer will be here sooner! Have a great school year!
