A day withought Chris

I had a bad morning Friday getting Chris ready for school. The first question out of his mouth was, "Where's Daddy?" Daddy works night and, like always, Daddy was still at work. Don't you know it was nothing but pushing my buttons from there on out? Very frustrating. He loves to play the, "Let's see what color red we can get Cheryl's face today?" game. By the time he got on the bus, I was hoping he could spend a few hours at Gram's house over the weekend. Looking back, I realize he played me like a fiddle. Anyway, I got to work and talked to Shawn for a few minutes. He wanted to make it into something larger than I wanted it to be. I said no & that I just wanted to be sans child for a while. So he called his mom and she offered to take Chris over night so we packed him up and off he went.

Don't get me wrong. I love Chris. I do. But any mom out there knows that you have to get away from the kid(s) every once in a while. Plus, I was REALLY tired.

So? What'd I do on my big night alone? Shawn & I watched Indiana Jones & the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. Not my favorite, btw. I ended up sleeping through half of it.

When that was over, Shawn had to get ready for work. We tried to have a little quickie gusto but we were both too tired for anything to come to, uh, fruition so we took a rain check.

After he left, I watched a bit of a movie, can't remember which one, and passed out sometime around 12:30. I slept for eight whole hours before Shawn came home and woke me up. We went to our favorite spot for some breakfast, ate too much and then went home to go back to sleep. I slept for another couple of hours before getting up because I felt I had to.

I used to sleep all weeked when I worked for Doc in Phoenix. I wish I could still do that but a) there's Chris and b) I now feel like I'd waste my days off doing that. Some day though... Some day, I'm going to sleep and sleep until I want to get up. I'll get up because I want to, not because I feel like I have too. Some day. *sigh* Some people dream of going to the stars or becoming one. I dream of sleeping under them.

Well, it's getting late. I'm going to need to get the boy soon. Shawn just woke up too. I'm hungry.
