This Morning

Rushed out of bed this morning when I glanced at clock to see it read 8:30.

Put contact lenses in and heard front door open and shut.

Husband just getting back from workout now?

Listened outside baby's door and heard absolute silence.

Baby still sleeping at 8:30?

Go back into bedroom.

Glance at clock again.

6:30.

Too late now, I'm already awake.

Go downstairs for coffee and quality time with hubby.

Pleasant morning but note to self: Get Lasik eye surgery.
