Taking note.
Yesterday.
Yesterday, I caught my dad eating ice cream with his spaghetti.
Yesterday, my mom's black lab Seamus pooped on our carpet. Several times.
Yesterday, Remy left a piece of gum on the toilet seat after trying to spit it in the trash can.
Yesterday, my children got out of school early due to the threat of ice. No actual ice. Not one bit.
Yesterday night, that ice finally arrived...it rained ice. But by then we were all in bed.
Yesterday, my husband fell asleep on the couch with his new love, the big screen TV.
Yesterday night, I shared MY bed with two boys and an 80lb dog.
Yesterday I was someone else.
NOW.
Now I'm half asleep in my chair.
Now I'm thinking. slowly.
Now I know it's time to get moving.
Now I'm me.
Tomorrow.
Tomorrow I'm banning gum in the house.
Tomorrow I will not watch my father eat.
Tomorrow I will put a diaper on the black dog.
Tomorrow I send my kids to school no matter if there is ice or not.
Tomorrow I will watch LOST on that big screen TV.
Tomorrow I will probably end up sleeping with everyone in my bed.
Tomorrow I will be someone new.
Welcome to my life.
Who were you?
Who are you?
Who will you be?
