My Current Fantasy

December16

I have a fantasy, ya’ll. It is a deep, dark, delicious fantasy. It doesn’t involve finding a magic slim pill nor even an exotic vacation, but oh, it is a most pleasant fantasy. Let me share it with you all.

It is Friday afternoon. Any Friday afternoon will do, but preferably soon and not this next Friday, cause I have to put the tree up, nor the Friday after that because it is Christmas. So let’s just call it a nondescript Friday about the time I get off work. I have nothing planned and no one’s agenda to meet for the whole weekend. I can come home and go to bed when I want to and sleep till I wake up and on Monday morning I will be refreshed and energized and ready for another week of madness.

I cannot remember the last time I slept until I was ready to get up, or spent any amount of time at all inside my own head and people, it is beginning to show. I’m not waspish or snappy, but I am tired and a bit frazzled. And drinking waaaaaay too much coffee. Soon my pretties, soon. I promise me, I will rest.

Heck, at this point, I’d settle for an appointmentless Tuesday when I didn’t have to go to work, but only get the kids off to school.

    I know how you feel, just wish the madness would stop! I cant imagine how it would feel to be unstressed. I have 6 months in Thailand booked in 3 years time… in my head.

    I feel the same way, i am always on the go when i don’t have to work. I work niights(12hr shifts-4 days a week) and by the time i get off that last night i am so tired that i sleep all day and so I lose a day off. Which only gives me 2 days to clean, bills…etc. I only wish I could have dreams about a day off from everything.

    If I where Santa I would grant you your wish. Raising a large family & working you do lose yourself. I simply don’t know how you do it so a big kudos to you :lol:

    You have a wonderful Christmas and I hope you get to sleep in soon, everyone knows when Momma is happy the house is happy.

I'm Cass. I am a full-time mom to eight great children, a Christian and a blogger. I'm also a knitter, a reader and a movie watcher. And a collector of eclectic oddities.

For the first time in 18 and a half years, I have my own little corner again. Somewhere along the way, I seem to have lost myself, and now that I realize I'm missing, I'm on the look out for me. You maybe don't know what that means, but then again, maybe you do. Regardless, this is where I'll be when I'm not being a mother or a knitter. This is where I'll be just me. And if no one ever reads it, that's ok. I'll know it's here.
