Aaah! I can focus, I can concentrate, I feel relaxed. You guessed it, I’m home ALONE! Well, not really alone-alone, but alone enough since Sam is here but passed out cold upstairs.
Let me back up here. Sam had quite a fun play date today. The proof is that he feel asleep before 5 PM while watching “The Human Machine” right after his buddy left. I guess his human machine really needed some ZZZZZZZZs. I looked into my bag of tricks (a small bag) and considered trying every tactic known to man to revive him. However, I darn well knew it would be unsuccessful anyway. Instead I decided to be all Zen and go with it.
I picked him up with bent knees and a huge groan, took him upstairs, and tossed him into bed at 5 PM in his clothes and all. As we well know, this tactic may very well backfire on my sorry self. Among many probable scenarios, he may wake up at anytime between now and 6 AM and be wide awake for the entire rest of the night. (I need to check and see when Dunkin Donuts opens in the AM.)
So I figure I may as well enjoy the incredible benefits of my scenario while I can. That translates into having the piece of mind to write this very blog entry. In addition, I plan to check out the three library books that I had on Reserve. Which to start first?? I have definitely eliminated one right off the bat, a highly recommended parenting book called “How to Raise a Resilient Child.” I’m sure it’s great, but I need to recharge my own resilience storage tanks right now, thank you! It’s not exactly big plans for a Friday at happy hour time, but I am thrilled by my lameness. However, I may be regretful later… Did I mention that he hasn’t eaten any dinner yet? Needless to say, that doesn’t bode well.
Keep you posted on whether these precious moments do turn out to be a huge mistake. In the meantime, I’m off to check out my dorky library books!
