Beeeep! Beeeep! Beeeeep! This was the sound that I woke up to today. The noise pierced through my ears and my nerves. I grabbed my cell phone as quickly as I could before the alarm woke up the baby. But being the klutz that I am I dropped the phone before I could silence the alarm…… I rolled out of bed (more like fell out of bed) and frantically padded my hands on the surface of the carpet while crawling. When I had finally found and disabled the alarm. I could hear the rustling in the crib that I was trying to avoid. Without a second thought I rushed up and ran over to the crib. I had managed to wake up one of my companions I didn’t want to wake the other. My boyfriend is not a very good morning person. While running to the crib I miscalculated the distance and ran my big toe into one of the legs of the crib. I let out a tiny “yelp!” if I would have known that my boyfriend was going to wake up for a brief second when I did this. I would have made the yelp count and screamed instead of trying to muffle the pain that I was feeling. After I had picked her up, fed her, and gotten her to fall back asleep. I was awake enough to go for my morning walk. (I have to walk due to my knees. I wish that I could run though.)
My knees felt better today than they did yesterday. While I was walking I was thinking about all the things that have happened in the last year. (Yesterday’s anniversary of Michael Jackson’s death sparked the sudden realization.) If someone would have told me then that today I would be in a relationship with three daughters. I would have probably laughed in their face. I was into the party life. I spent my nights in the bars, and waking up with a hangover was the norm. It kind of takes your breath away when you suddenly realize how much can happen in an instant. It also makes you realize that nothing lasts forever. So for today I want to leave you guys with this. Live in the moment because today is yesterday and tomorrow is today.
