I wake up around 5am each morning...to get myself and the kids ready for school, to make lunch boxes and prepare backpacks.
I drive the 12 yr old to school.
We talk about life.
I helped quiz him on the Middle East for his Social Studies test today.
In doing so, I realized I never really knew what "OPEC" stood for (the actual letters).
I learned a lot quizzing him.
He knows where all the countries are better than I do.
He's learning the differences between Judaism, Islam and Christianity.
He's learning why everyone's fighting in Israel.
Yesterday I quizzed him for his math test on isosceles triangles & other triangles.
I'd never heard of a scalene triangle before.
Lately I've been enlisting Texas Homeboy to take the 7 yr old to school. So that I can make sure I'm not late to work.
My ten mile commute to work usually takes 30 minutes or so.
I listen to NPR.
At work, I can listen to music on my iPod.
Which is awesome.
I'm not sharing my playlists.
I have an hour for lunch.
Sometimes I work right through it.
Sometimes I go get something to eat in a drive thru.
Sometimes I bring my own lunch and eat in the break room.
I usually read a book while I eat.
Wanna know what I did during my lunch hour yesterday?
Ate lunch? no.
Went shopping? no.
Read a book? no.
Worked? no.
I climbed into the back seat of my SUV.
Cracked the windows.
Set the alarm on my iPod.
And slept.
I wonder if the entire parking lot heard me snoring?
Have you ever napped in a weird place?
