Not such a great day…or?
Well, today didn’t really start off on a good note, not because it was out of my control, but rather because I totally lost and gave up control! This is something I would have never been able to even think just a year ago.
It really starts with my lack of time management…something I have never had, unfortunately…
I stayed up until 4:30am trying to finish up a project for school that was due today, mind you my daughter had to get up at 6 am to go on a trip with her school. Needless to say I was so tired that when the alarm clock on my phone (don’t have a regular alarm clock…don’t ask why) went off I pressed snooze for an extra 5 min. Well, that ended up being an extra hour. My daughters buss was leaving her school at 7:15 and they where waiting for no one!
So, one eye open and the other still asleep I managed to help her get out the door in 5 min (a total miracle…she’s never out the door in 5 min) a good thing the school is only about 10 min away so luckily she made it!
Now, with her off, I went back to sleep just to get an extra hour before school…dumb move, I over slept and got to class 45 min to late, the project was a mess and I didn’t make the “deadline”…”I was fired from that job” according to my teacher.
Next was my final in psychology…mind you I have been doing an A all semester until today. I managed to not read after my midterm…time management again…and my planned reading during the weekend was quickly shut down by absolute derails (facebook, twitter, blogs, email etc) plus the “11y going on 20y” temper tantrums. With that said…Piaget, Skinner, Vygotskies theories on children development got interesting answers from me, I had total brain freeze. All I could think about was how tired I was and how irritated I was that I couldn’t remember stuff we’d been talking about the whole second part of the semester!
To end it all, I had my advanced business writing final with an essay discussing Ralph W. Emerson’s assertion that we should go forth and speak the “rude truth in all ways.” Although we are a world of acknowledged liars, cheaters, and thieves and how we will go to great lengths to embrace deception for self-preservation….yes yes…that became a short nice tight essay….or should I say: a short essay!
Finally home at 8pm….and you know what…after all, it’s not such a bad day. I choose to not make it a bad day. I still have a nice home to come back to, a computer, food, water, things and stuff and…. you know what there are people out in the world with real worries and problems, real pain…how can I let that get to me?
Tomorrow is a new and exciting day, with new, interesting and information to learn and process 
I will end the day with my daily meditation then go to bed so that I can get the sleep and rest I need to meet tomorrow with new strength!
