So I have staff devotions this week. This simply means that I have to be to work by 7:30AM. For some this seems like heaven.... Some... You know the other place. Quite frankly its more like purgatory for me. Because I don't do mornings, but I would like to.... I wish I could get up all happy go lucky, go do my walk or run, feel wonderful and refreshed and go on with my day and an awesome start, but I can't. As it is, I am setting 2 alarms and occasionally the 3 on my phone as well. Yeah add that up... Sometimes it takes 5 alarms to get me out of bed. Right now 2 are doing it though because I went to the store and bought the one that says "EXTRA LOUD" and set it across my room so I would have to get out of my warm cozy bed to turn it off. Worse yet, I set it 30 to 45 minutes before I have to get up so I have 9 minutes in-between getting up to slam the snooze and run back into my warm bed. This is really annoying I have come to decide and I seriously just don't know what to do. I went to bed early (10:30) this is very early for me. And I woke up at 5:45 freaking out that I was late. When I finally realized I wasn't I slept and slept and when I woke up for real I felt so miserable. My eyes hurt. My body is running at like 30%. Tasks are taking me a very long time today and just thinking about doing what I should be doing takes a lot of energy from me. I feel pretty pathetic. My secretaries sent me to starbucks to see if that would help. When does starbucks not help really? It did help but my eye lids still ache, the teachers still made fun of me this morning for looking so alive and having a man voice as I like to call it... But whatever.
On a happier note.... I have been talking to the Rivercats. They are the minor league baseball team in Sacramento. I have a meeting with some executives there (that kind of scares me.... Hello people I work with junior highers... not a big suit and tie kinda girl) on Monday and we are talking about having the team come down and do a clinic for the kids in Lodi... how stinking cool is that? It just so happens that we have a baseball field here so hopefully we could have people come here and then it is getting them onto our church property. So prayers for a positive meeting would be awesome. (ha ha I just spelt awesome outloud in my head and did it via a cheerleading cheer from 7th and 8th grade....)
Apparently I need to work now... so hopefully that will happen.

OH how I remember the days...steam rollin in the basement, getting ready for who knows what until the wee hours of the morning...and then falling asleep only to wake to the sound of horribly loud bells and a radio alarm clock on so loud that you can't even make out what the voices are saying, just that it's loud and I'm so scared I could pee my pants.
and melissa is still sleeping...how anyone could sleep through all that chaos is beyond me...but I still love you lisser, even though you nearly gave me many heart attacks during our sleepovers. : )
Hey Mel,
