Monday morning came late.

   Good Morning? Not really. 5:30 a.m.just like every morning the VERY annoying alarm clock rings even though it knows i want to sleep so what do i do? Grab the phone hit snooze and tuck in under the covers. BAD idea! The alarm must have been going off for quite a while because i finally heard it and of course to my surprise, it's 6:30 a.m. Now let me tell you a little about how my morning should go. 
    I should wake up at 5:30 a.m. go downstairs, make some coffee, let the dog out for potty time, feed the animals, and start my shower. After a very long hot relaxing shower i stumble out and attempt to wake my grizzly bear husband which for me is always a challenge. I continue on to my hair and makeup. After that is my attempt to wake up baby grizzly which is nothing short of hilarious. He normally wakes up like he has seen a ghost and starts talking gibberish. After the clan is awake and rolling i do the finishing touches on myself and head downstairs to make some breakfast and plan dinner. Finally the boys come downstairs  we lock the beast up and out the door we go no later than 7:00 a.m. Now, this is on a good morning. 
     Today i wake up at 6:30 a.m. freaking out of course because i have to get the clan together and out the door by 7:00 a.m. which was a complete success except for me. After rushing around planning lunch and dinner and making myself a to-go soda in my purple travel cup i head out the door at 7:20 a.m. not a good start. So i figure since it's so late i'll jump on the toll road to get to work quicker. Pull around to 104th and highway 85 and of course there is a train AND construction. Finally i make it to E-470 and start to pick up speed. Now the good thing about E-470 is that there is no traffic and hardly any cars on it. I go to take a drink of my soda and flip the top and wow was i surprised to be getting a soda bath going 80 MPH on the highway. I would have to say at least half of my soda got all over my shirt, hair, face and car. At this point i'm on fire with anger. So what do i do next? well there's no cars on the highway hardly so i dig around for my work jacket weaving around like a drunk person and AH-HA i found it. I cant just put this jacket on a wet shirt so i took it off. By that time i can see more cars gaining on the highway and it must have been a sight to see a girl in a polka-dot bra. I rush to put on my jacket and finish my fast drive to work. 

   So here it is 10:30 a.m. and work is going well but then again it's only 10:30a.m. Have a nice day friends hope it brings better luck than it did for me. At least i can look forward to a day off of work tomorrow.
