Sounds like an appropriate title given the fact that our smoke detectors went off this morning while I was in the shower (too much steam.) The good news is they work well, meaning they are loud enough to wake all of my children. How great for me on a school morning of all days. Almost as if God interfered and said, "I will give you a hand waking your children," giving me a much needed break from all the moaning and whining about being too tired to get out of bed or not wanting to get dressed. I got none of that with an ear piercing alarm!
Since my kids were up and dressed in a matter of minutes, I managed to get child number one off to school early. Yeah! And now I have a little time before child number two needs to be at school, forty minutes, which is just enough time to do a little writing. Maybe my prayer for more time has been answered? Oh, I spoke too soon, my children are calling. "Mom, I need...."
So much for the time I thought I had this morning. Two and half hours later I am back! Now I am beginning to think that alarm was an omen, warning me that I am running out of time. For just what, I am not sure, but I just have a feeling? Maybe the alarm is a reminder that I am running out of time to write the proposal to Starbucks for "Mothering Heights" that I should have had finished the other day and now I am promising myself I will have finished within the hour. Or maybe it was to remind me to write that bestseller before I hit my impending financial doom? Who knows, but I will definitely take it as my sign to hit the starting line right now!
