Red, White, and Deployment Blues

First let me start by saying I am the worst morning person! I was not made to function before 10. It’s too bad that the kid’s school and work does not take this into account. On top of not being a morning person I feel like every one and everything is out to make me later than I already am. Anyone else feel like this?

Let me tell you about this morning. I wake up with this lovely buzzing sound that infiltrates my dreams and knocks me into reality. I get up rub the sleep from my eyes and look for my sweatshirt and slippers because BRRR it’s freezing. I walk past the kids rooms and find their sheets kicked back and their beds empty. They are downstairs playing WII.



I always yell down the stairs “Good Morning”, and they come running up. This morning Ethan tells me that he doesn’t feel good and then Ryan tells me he feels like he might throw up, oh wait it’s just a sneeze. I have never confused a sneeze for that but whatever.



The boys are now staring out the window and looking at the DPW trucks that are now outside out my house. I should have known then that something was up. I pack Ethan’s lunch and we head out the door for my first drop off did I mention its 7:30 AM.    




Ryan and I come back to the house and now my road is completely blocked off. I settle Ryan in with his breakfast and tell him I am going to shower. At least that is what I thought. I get to the bathroom and quickly realize there in no water. NONE!!! How can this be? No one warned me. Shouldn’t I have had some sort of notice? This just doesn’t seem right. I need a shower, it’s that time of the month and I just don’t feel so fresh. Hope no one at work stands to close to me today.

Did anyone else morning go this smoothly???
