Me, Myself and Mommy

It’s time to return to the realities of the world. Christmas is over. The New Year has come and gone. The party is over. It’s time to return to work, but I’m just not ready. Really, all I want is one more day – one tiny little day. Please? Pllllllleeeeeeaaaaasseeeeeee. Please. Please. Please. Pa-pa-pa-pa-pllllleeeeaaasseeee.

I’m sorry for all the whining. Spending two weeks with a sassy two-year-old has gotten the best of me. But seriously, I do need one more day to do all of the things I was supposed to do, but didn’t.

I need one more day to get my laundry in order.

I need one more day to figure out all of these medical bills I have.

I need one more day to clean up my family business plan for this year (I’ll share more of that with you later).

I need one more day to take that nap that I’ve been aching for.

I need one more day to organize and backup all of our pictures.

I need one more day to make something delicious in the kitchen.

I need one more day to wash my bras.

I need one more day to organize a few projects for this blog.

I need one more day to dust, vacuum and polish and sanitize.

I need one more day to play with Moanna.

I need one more day to do nothing. NOTHING.

I need one more day to pretend that reality doesn’t exist.

Don’t you need one more day too? Come on. Yes you do. Don’t lie to me. I know that you could use an extra day. I can see it in your eyes.

I’ll talk to my people, and you talk to your people, and maybe we can work something out to extend all Holidays to extend one day longer than we would expect. I think that we can pool our forces and make this thing happen. We can go to Congress and ask for one more day. We can call it, “The One More Day Act.”

While we’re there, we also need to ask for “Good Weather Days.” Don’t you wish that school/work would get called off when we have a freak-of-nature good day in the middle winter? Wouldn’t it be great to wake up and turn on the TV, well I guess we get these kinds of messages on our phones now, and read, “School is cancelled due to sunshine and warm temperatures. Please take this day to enjoy the outdoors.” ? I think that the “Good Weather Day” is the answer to seasonal depression.

Now that I’ve taken us on quite the tangent, let’s refocus.

I’m sure you’re wondering what I did do with all of my time off. Since I just  rambled off a long list of stuff that I didn’t get done, I’d say that’s a fair questions. Well, I’ll tell ya. I spent time with family, playing in the kitchen, playing with Moanna and Steve,  tidying up the house, retidying up the house and resting.

I really enjoyed this time away from work for the Holidays. It was great. However, I just need one more day. If I had one more day, I could knock at least half of those projects off of my list. I would be a new woman. Well, maybe not totally new, but at least I could lower my handicap on the course a little. And, no, that was not a Tiger punch. I was talking about the course of life silly.

Come on. Fess up. What kind of things do you need just one more day for? If you could make the world stop spinning for 24 hours so you could catch up with the rest of the pack, how would you spend that time?
