Birthday Breakfast in Bed
Posted on April 12, 2008 - Filed Under Personal |
I have a lot of work to do today. Despite my best efforts, I didn´t finish up yesterday, so I was prepared to jump out of bed this morning and buckle down, even after having hit the sack at 2 am.
But this morning, Dante woke up and started calling his brother and Dorian was calling from his room and as I pried my eyelids open, Irving jumped up, grabbed Dante and some diapers and scurried out of the room, shutting the door.
I had to get up anyway, I mean, I had to work, right? But I decided to enjoy a couple minutes of being able to lie in bed without a toddler pulling on me or having to change a habitual dirty diaper.
The next thing I knew, Irving was shaking me awake and handing me an orange juice in a disposible cup and saying, “I wanted to let you sleep more, but I know you need to work.” Then he presented me with takeout Eggs Benedict (the traditional birthday breakfast in my family), that he´d gone into Antigua to get! It turned out that I´d slept in until NINE!
So, now I have to work. But I´m totally relaxed now and feeling good!
