Back to Reality

Today I woke up.

I hopped in the shower.

I got dressed in dress clothes for work and pulled out lunchboxes from the fridge and popped them in backpacks.

I got monkeys dressed.

I left for work at 7:00 am.

Monday after a break is such a slap in the face.

Doesn’t matter how much you love your job.

If you’ve just had eleven days off, that first day back is just a tough one.

So, you do your job, and you do it well.

But in your head, you are thinking warm, cozy thoughts…

Thoughts like not getting up to the sound of an alarm, but instead to the sound of kids trying to be quiet while they play, but being too giggly to actually be quiet.

Thoughts like having time for a nice, hot breakfast of oatmeal instead of a Fiber One english muffin that is only lukewarm because you had to pop it out of the toaster early because you needed to leave.

Thoughts of spending the whole day in your jammies or sweats.

Tomorrow, my mind will be completely, 100% back at work.

Today? 

Gotta admit…

My mind was here…
