What a morning. I never usually over sleep, and yes the Alarm did go off at 6.30am and I heard it, and I ALWAYS lie there until at least 7am listening to the radio and easing myself gently into the day. Well, this morning, I heard it, I registered it, I turned over and went straight back to sleep. So there I was fast asleep, trying to work a tape player and doing a documentary for Channel 4 (don’t ask) when the next thing that makes it’s way into my conciousness, is the 7.30am news (I have to be in work, at my desk at 8.15am). Whaaaaaaaaaaaaat? I screamed jet propelling myself out of bed and still half asleep. Hubby strolling in from his shower said, “Oh I thought you were having a little lie in” “On what parallel universe do I ever get to lie in on a Monday I asked” – well I screamed really, and it was rude, and I’m not proud of it.

Then commenced the headless chicken routine, fly into the shower, bash my shin against the shower tray, swear, turn on shower, pick up shampoo, wet hair, apply shampoo, realise it ‘s conditioner, bum!!! It will have to do. Fly into bedroom, towelling and running at the same time, grab knickers, try and stuff two feet down one leg, hop down landing, bang head on wall. Try to take deep breaths and finish dressing and applying slap (usually a major undertaking, requiring grout and filler) run down stairs, where Hubby had thrown me a packed lunch together (bless). Out of the door, back in the door, pick up car keys, drive to work, and make it to my desk with seconds to spare. Don’t know why I bothered, everyone else was late, so after that I figured I deserved an easy day, so I had one.

Hope your day started better.
