For the month of March, I'll be writing with all you in the Slice of Life community. Disclaimer: I'll be writing every day so the writing will be raw and a bit messy most days.
The signs were there all day. The alarm rang once, and I hit snooze. Eight minutes later the snooze alarmed and I hit snooze again. Finally, after 24 minutes of snoozing, I drugged myself out of bed and headed to the shower.
I went through my morning routine, shower, makeup, hair, and choosing the first thing I saw in my closet to wear. I drove to work and settled in the PD lounge for a day of grade level meetings.
The meetings proceeded, and I was happy with the level of conversation and production. Pedagogies were shared, articles passed around, plans made, and dates scheduled.
As the last group said their goodbyes, I began to reflect on the day all the while fighting to keep my eyes open. I packed up and called it a day. As I drove home all I could think about was taking a nap.
I pulled in the garage at 4:10 and the next thing I knew my husband was calling me to eat dinner. I rubbed the sleep from my eyes, looked at the clock, and sat down to dinner.
It's incredible what a three-hour nap can do for the soul!
It's so hard to be "on" all the time. You really captured the day!
ReplyDeleteWhoa! That was a serious siesta! You really must have needed it. Good for you. I love a good nap myself, and try to catch one every now and then on weekends.
ReplyDeleteGlad you took that nap - a bit a sleep can do wonders!
ReplyDeleteI enjoy your post and had to read that last line twice after I realized that you left me the clue that you had fallen asleep. Well done! More than that, I have to say, the quote at the top of your blog today is what will stick with me. Thank you for capturing these words of wisdom and for setting such a stance for your slices. It makes me try harder tomorrow.
