Why is it that the days I have to get up, I want to sleep in; and the days I don't have to get up (such as today), I can't wait to get out of bed? I know I'm not alone in this.

I go downtown to work two days a week, and in order to get out of my house by 6am I have to be up by 5:20. No later. When I telecommute the other three days, I get up with my husband (generally around 6am) make him lunch, make coffee and am to "work" by 6:30 or 6:15, depending on the amount of effort that goes into making his lunch. Both scenarios seem way too early to be out of bed. At least on the day that I'm supposed to be out of bed.

So, this morning, I wake up at 5:30. I've taken a vacation day, so I should be sleeping. "Go back to sleep", I tell myself. Didn't work. So, I decide to bother my husband. I refuse to be alone in my misery. I "accidently" kick his foot. I fluff up my pillow and "accidently" hit his shoulder. Suddenly, the snoring stops. Oops! (oops, my @$$).

So, up we were, both of us before we really needed to be. He decided to go to work early so it's easier for him to take off early (to go to Costco! yippee!!), and I'm on my computer at 6:15.

Hey, but at least I'm not working.

Very soon, I'll be off the computer and do some fun stuff. Hair cut and foil, shopping, fun with hubby. Yep. It's going to be a great vacation day.
