sleeping in?

Do you know that feeling when you want to be extra quiet and silent and yet every noise and every sound you make seems to be amplified a million times? It happened to me this morning when I was up very early. I have teenage kids, I can stay in bed on Sundays, but today, I had work on my mind and wanted to get it done instead of procrastinating. I could have done it yesterday, but I like my lazy Saturdays and preferred watching TV and playing on the phone, talking to the kids, doing laundry… you get the situation – anything but work. But I even dreamt about it and woke up early. I was wide awake and decided to do a load of laundry (yes another), back French rolls for breakfast and then get to the tablet to take a look at the document my colleague had sent me last Friday night. Every sound I made felt like it was louder than life. Maybe it also felt that way because the house was silent and it was still dark outside…

I used to love sleeping in. I still do. But the older I get the earlier I wake up. At least, somehow I can sleep most of the nights now. I only wake up once or twice and sleepless nights are reduced to 1 or 2 per week. Improvement, I’d say.

Have a nice Sunday
