It's 4:00, thats 4 AM. What the heck am I doing up at 4 AM? It's Sunday, Super Bowl Sunday. Hmmm, that has become a holiday in itself here in the USA. Although the hype seems a little less this year. Maybe because of the economy? But it IS 4 AM. I woke up a 3:30. I do that a lot. My eyes pop open and the mind starts to wonder from one thing to another like a train going full speed ahead. Whats the weather outside------I don't have to go to work today-------Is the world safe?-------Do Melody and Shane and the kids have enough money to get by with him not working.-------Dominic, how about they're finances?---------Cancer. there is so much cancer in this world.------Bush, what a shame no one likes him.------Not even me.------Its so cold outside. I hope all the animals are warm.-------Nick, how will he get through life not being able to talk. These things, everything runs through my head at 4 AM. Sooooo, oh well, may as well get up. The cats are still sleeping, well thats two that are warm for sure.
I am trying to be quiet so as not to wake Hubby. He'll come out and say "What ARE you doing up, do you know what time it is?" He can't understand that I actually enjoy these hours in the early morning. Its kind of like getting an extension to the day.
Yesterday, my intentions were to just stay home and stay warm. Didn't happen. Daughter and grandson and I took a ride to the Amish Market. It was mobbed, everyone shopping for Super Bowl snacks I guess. Nick, he's my handicapped one loves to be with Mommy and me. I always tease her that she will be the little 60 year old in the supermarket with her 40 year old son tagging along. I think we have all seen these couples. A Mommy with a Down Syndrome or some issue that keeps him tied to Mommy throughout his and her life.
Yesterday, Nick was pushing the shopping cart through the thickness of the crowd, when he ran up the heels of an older lady. I could see she was aggravated before she turned around. But when she did, the look on her face changed when she looked at Nick. I made him apologize and she said, "Thats OK, he didn't mean it." And now I keep thinking about her. I hope her heels are not too badly bruised and she is asleep right now.
Now its 5 o'clock, time for a cup of coffee and time to turn on Fox News and see whats happening in the rest of the world.
