Wonder Woman FE2 Chef Kev's blog: "The Voice of Reason"

Just last week, I had one hell of a day. First I was jolted awake by the sound of a slamming door at 5am. I shot out of bed and did a stumble sprint through the house, checking my son who was still sleeping half on and half off his bed. But sound asleep. So then I kept sprint stumbling through the house, down the stairs and realized about half way down (what the hell am I going to hurt someone with, my fuzzy slippers? Not like that would scare them) Although, the look of my hair going everywhere like meddussa would probably scare even me! Since I already had the momentum of going downward and the force of gravity were not going to work in my favor stopping and turning around, I kept going down. Then I looked around the dining room and the kitchen...everything quiet. The glow from the neon clock was giving a soft light throughout the kitchen. I then went to the living room and checked the front door. Just as I left it....*sigh* Then I checked the garage door....just as I left it too another *sigh* everything normal. So as I climbed the stairs back to my room I was contemplating whether I had lost my mind completely and was just hearing things or that I might have dreamed it....running through my dreamland...could not remember anything. When I passed through the hall by my office/spare room...I heard it again....This time I knew it was coming from in there, so I went in. One of my website programs (Bet you can't guess which one....FUBAR) was running still and when someone changes their status there is the sound of a door slamming...I did a mental head smacking of my forehead and turned down the volume. Then against my better judgement I went back to bed...knowing full well my alarm was going off in another 30 min. About 1 million snooze button hits later I woke up at the Butt Crack of Holy Shit I am late...6:45. I jumped out of bed and ran to the bathroom and did what anyone would do in this situation....Panicked. I took a lovely, Sponge bath, cleaning all the important areas...washed my face, flipped my head over and untangled the curls best I could with my fingers, teased it a little bit...then flipped it back up.....curled about five strands to make it look like I put some effort into it...put my make up on, ran to my room, threw on my jeans and a sweater and was off to wake the hell child(not really a hellion but at the time this is what I thought) ...who just like me is running at the pace of a turtle on a bad day going 0-60 in about a month. Of course I am trying to not show the panic to him...and still trying to rush him to getting ready. At 7:05 we were both down stairs and he decides that he is hungry. Great...another time consuming activity....knowing full well that as a 5 year old everything takes longer....So I got him a bowl of cereal and we finally left the house at 7:30. Yikes, I was thinking to myself I wanted to be to work by 7:30, not just leaving the house. Since I was late I called the sitter and told him that I would drop the slow one (my son) off at school (cause as all you parents know, when it is time to go...we are not the ones late they are) and then head out to work. When we got to school, my boy was served another breakfast....Guess what he may be skinny but that boy really can eat. (Good thing though) So I got to post and then went and bought coffee at the PX. At this time I was more calm realizing that even though I had not made it to work by 7:30 I was still early for 8:00. Hmmmm Got to work by 8 am and began everything like a normal day. Fun don't you think. Thank you for spending our hard earned tax dollars to sit here and hear my rantings!!! It shows that you are putting the money to its maximum capability. Trust me when I say, "it doesn't go unnoticed." Have a great day!!!
