Battery re-charge

It’s just another manic monday… I really don’t like mondays. Not that many people do, I guess. And most of all, I don’t like monday mornings.

Typically for the night before monday, I didn’t sleep too well. Thoughts whirling around in my mind, twistin’ and shoutin’. Stressful thoughts, mostly, about the house, money, work, money… just stuff. And money. Somehow in the midst of all, it has become a major player in my life again. Actually, the loss of it of course. We are living in a world where 1€=6mk but 1mk=1€. Weird math, huh?

So anyway, when my alarm went off, I was dead tired. Just wanting to dig deeper under the covers, forget the rest of the world exists. Sleep until I could sleep no more. But the responsible me dragged myself out of bed and off to work. So here I am. Have been for pretty many hours and my day’s almost done. Went by quickly after all. With something essential to work on.

Monday’s don’t really differ from other days all that much. It’s always hard to get out of bed. I’d always want to sleep some more. But it’s the beginning of a new week, with four more mornings to go. Way too many! Wednesday is my favorite work day – aside from Friday, naturally. When Wednesday is over, we’re closer to the next weekend than to the prior one.

Usually weeks fly by faster than I can cope. Usually I like my work enough to rather work overtime than undertime. But today, I’m more than happy to leave at three to get the kids and take them to their dance lessons. At this time of the year, especially one as hectic as this one, I’m counting days to summer vacation. Six weeks. That’s all. But it’s six weeks too many. I’m on borrowed time. Sooo tired.

It seems that my Duracell batteries are waring off after all. My friends at work called me the duracell bunny not too long ago. Always in move, always full of energy. Maybe so, but even the most long lasting batteries need to be charged every ones in a while. And now my batteries are beeping almost-empty. Weekends are only cpr.

Five leisurely holiday-weeks looming before my eyes. Often I sort of envy the people who travel on their vacations when I’m not bound to go anywhere. But this year, to be perfectly honest, I don’t even want to go anywhere! I’m really looking forward to long mornings and free time with the kids. Just hangin’ around, doing whatever we like. Oh the glory of that!

29 (work)days, and counting.

hetkos .. onkos tämä se pinkki teema, josta joskus vielä viime marraskuussa sanoit, että on lievän karmee?-)and trust me, you’re not the only one in need for a vacation, tho you are the only actually having one, at least a proper one..

niin, siis äskeinen kommentti multa :-)sara

Ei, tämä ei ole se teema, tämä on itse mukautettu, eli työnsin tuon ruusun taustakuvaksi ja taustan väri on poimittu ruususta. Ei sitä pinkkiä teemaa kestä katsoa…
