sidenote... after not writing in a while it's kind of weird to just start up a post.. it's like seeing a friend you have not seen in a while. You really enjoy that person but time has slightly taken it's toll. You begin by saying hey to said friend. You ask the basics- how are you?-how's life? -how's the job? -eventually you get past those generalities and the conversation warms up...you just need to push through...so here i go....
Hi...how are you? How is life? The economy? Your health care plan? ...I'm fine, life is good, nope still no children yet, we've only been married five months now... what has been on my mind lately, you ask... Ok, well i'll tell ya
So, I have given up on the idea of waking up early this week and have not woken up earlier than 8am... yes, i still automatically wake up around 7... around the time when that daily battle errupts inside you:Do i get up now? Oh but this bed is so warm and cozy...But you have a lot to do and there is no way you can get it done in time if you don't wake up now, and you do have to go pee..Not worth it plus i can hold it a little longer, ok 5 more minutes, you always say that, 10 more minutes....you know, Well yesterday and today i chose to turn off those thoughts, roll over and enjoy the blissfullness of sleep.
Why? you ask... well I'll tell ya, it's for the sake of summer break...at least the spirit of it anyhow.

You see, something happens shortly after you graduate, not only do you loose summer break in it's entirety (BOO) but you also seem to loose the sense of summer break. I admit, for a while i DID actually have a little summer break, even after i graduated. I worked at a daycare so in between after school care and Camp we had a good week off, and even before that the kids were SOOO excited about summer break that some of their excitement couldn't help but rub off on you. So boy was i excited about that week i had off!
But this year, with my "grown up" job, seasons seemed to flow one into the other with seemingly little appreciation for the next (I guess this is what happens when you stop living your life in semesters?) Anyways before i knew it MAY was here. Next week will be MAY 21- can you believe it (i guess this is also what happens when you live your life as a secretary, you live your life in light of NEXT week)
When i realized it was May and thought about the past freedom attributed to this month over the past few years and the celestial glory it contained and how this year it almost flew by unnoticed I realized not only could i do that to poor May but i couldn't do that to myself!!!! (or maybe in actuality i just couldn't let it go)
So i deem this week my summer break!
Yesterday i cooked my husband and I a good Puerto Rican meal followed by an outing to Ben and Jerry's and a movie. Right now I sit at Otherlands drinking my second cup of coffee, eating banana bread in all it's buttery glory (seriously you HAVE to try the banana bread here) and while i partake in all of this...the laundry sits at home undone, the bed is not made, and my house could sure use a good sweep [hardwood floor+cat]
and I'll get around to it, of course...
