It was totally awesome! I took my son to his first day camp (read: his 1^st all day solo adventures without me) for the day after dragging myself outta bed thinking I would rebound after my first Cup-O-Joe, then I would be good to go. Not so, my legs grew increasingly heavy after a night of dead tired non-sleep on my Select Comfort bed where my sleep number was jacked up so high it hurt, done by a set of little hands when visiting his sick mom over the weekend. I had wishfully hoped I would fall asleep regardless but at 4AM I got up and flicked the lightswitch activated outlet on so I could digitally deflate my side down to a 30.

I fell back asleep and slept soundly till I forced myself up to make his camp lunch at 7, then bam, bam, bam, my 5 YO up at 7:15, him pooped and pee’d by 7:30 and on our bikes headed for the clubhouse by 7:35 for a ten minute ride to camp. Got him checked in with Ms. Lizzie and I am back home by 8. Mission accomplished!

I sat there watching my high def programming for 15 minutes when I decided to fire up the AC and button the place shut so I could take a nap at 8:20 in the morning.

I cranked my sleep number down to 25 and was oblivious to anything for 5 whole hours! Well, that nap lasted till 2PM, and then I had to shower quickly so I could make a research meeting I had at 4 in Denver. I had to rub it in to the lady scientists I work with that I got to sleep ALL DAY TODAY and I feel good!

Not since my son has been born have I been able to wake up, tend to a minimal kindergartener chore list and be back in bed to sleep the day away and I deserved it! Imagine, waking up because you are not sleepy and there are no demands being needed.

I have not had any time where I had to do nothing but sleep since he was born, there was always something somewhere, and doing nothing was all too sweet!

Tomorrow is another day of camp but I think I need to get something done domestically for the day so stay tuned to this Blog channel!
