What a DAY*!*

No naps and spit up and tornadoes...OH MY!

I actually don't feel like writing about this crazy day for some reason...I still feel as though I've been rung out like a dish rag (probably look like it too.) so I'm not sure that I want to rehash.
SOOOOOO...
I want to talk about something that makes me HAPPY*!*

But before I go there...

When I was younger and still living at home, my Mom would stay up late almost every night. I always thought it was so idiotic because she would be so obviously drained and tired the next day. I would ask her why and she would say the same thing every time: "It's my only time." What the heck did that mean? Why wouldn't she just go to bed when we did? Why would you do that to yourself? Just made no sense to me...
I stayed up until 3:00am the other night (morning) trying to finish up my Halloween tree. Been meaning to do it, been wanting to do it, and if I didn't hurry, it would be time for a tree of the Christmas variety. I was looking forward to just sitting down and enjoying myself, by myself. Yep, something just for me, just because. It's not a project I could work on during the day (I am laughing at the thought of attempting it!) and darn it, I wanted to do it! It was my "only time" to do it. Late o'clock is pretty much when I get to do any of my projects and I have to say that sometimes, just getting 3 hours of sleep is worth it. I love my Halloween tree! (pics. tomorrow:) It makes me *happy* and I smile every time I pass it*!* {yawn}

...yep Mom...I get it now.

I get it BIG time! Now that you mention it, my mom stayed up late at night too. And I don't think MY daughter gets it either...but she will some day when her time comes.

Oh, yeah! I definitely get it. Isn't it interesting that a woman's soul needs that "me" time, even if it means sacrificing health in other areas... I can't wait to see photos! Also, so glad to hear that you are okay after the weather... smiles!
