mornings // a break down

is it bad if the first thing that came to mind before rolling out of bed this morning was, "when can i take a nap?"  this thought seems to creep up on me at the end of the week, say friday.  not tuesday!  this should not be happening at the beginning of my week for crying out loud!  

after the fifth, yes fifth, push of my snooze button and the fourth time asking andrew to watch stella's quick hands just one more time from grabbing my extreme case of bed-head, i  managed to get out of bed.  she is at the stage where pulling mommy's hair in the morning is so much fun.  well, groggy doesn't come close to how i felt.  at this point, i was already 20 minutes behind schedule. and to top it off,  i'm pretty sure i stared at the clothes in my closet for about 10 minutes before realizing that i was going to have one of those mornings where even my new clothes {that i just tried on} didn't seem to fit or look quite right.  you know what i'm talking about. 

at 6am, there were only two things i could think of that were bold enough to knock me out of this stupor and get me back on track: my orange pants and some extra-bold cafe.  orange pants really are awesome, you know.  so what if they resemble the neon highlighter i use to edit, or biiig deal if they match the hideous hue of our school colors {sorry, gators}...they are completely wonderful and seem to do just the trick.  and the extra-bold cafe.  amaaaazing!  gotta love the 8:00 am jitters and the good times that result from not being able to form a coherent sentence because of all the caffeine.  i say it's worth it. 

if there is one thing that gets me through the day, so to speak, it is the combination of these two things...oh, and perhaps a backpacker pour of wine at dinner ;)  today, is for sure, without a doubt, all about the little things!
