Get Movin'

I'm sitting here arguing with myself. Get movin'...no.  Time for church...not goin'.  9:30am and you're still in a nightgown...so what.   Will today be another day like yesterday?...hope not, but maybe....

My body shut down at 7pm Friday evening.   On the sofa...good book...disengaged from life.  To tell you the truth my body usually does that on Friday nights.  I work at an early learning center as the manager. Working there, especially in the summer, is like white water rafting. Going from one problem to another... This week was no different.  Friday afternoon at 4:45pm, called to help with 6 yr old boy who is out of control..biting, kicking, hitting teachers.  God help me.  Really, I always ask Him for help, patience, guidance.  Not looking forward to getting bit...last tenus shot was when I was 12 and I don't want to go to the hospital tonight.

So there he is; out of control and looking scared.  I wonder what triggered this.  I walk with him to the office ...it takes 30 minutes to calm him down.  (Long story short his parents are divorced and he's hurting).

If it isn't the children with problems it's my staff.  Enough said...my weeks are emotionally draining.  Which leaves me to couch potato land on Friday nights.  But this weekend it rolled into Saturday.

I didn't do much of anything yesterday.... didn't shower or get dressed; didn't leave the house to get groceries; didn't cook or fix meals; didn't clean house; didn't do any of the normal Saturday things. Instead, I read.  My favorite summer reads are the books by Janet Evanovich.  Her new books come out at the end of June ...so I reread last summer's book and then her new one.

So here I sit, knowing I need to get my butt in gear....but....I still have seven chapters left!  So it's back to the sofa for me!  Need to finish Smokin' Seventeen.  Who will Stephanie Plum settle down with?  Morelli the Italian hunk and her on again off again boyfriend? ...or Ranger, her mysterious Latino lover?

Update:  I finished the book a little before noon.....She did choose one of the above...but the book ended without the reader finding out which one!  (I didn't see that one coming!)  The good news is that the next book (Explosive Eighteen) will be out November 22nd; I won't have to wait until next June (and I'm wondering if it will be the last in the series).  Next to the page with this news is a page with two stickers for your car...I (heart) Morelli and I (heart) Ranger.  Geeezz....who will she choose?  After watching her fly between the two of them for 17 books, my guess is Morelli. Who would I choose? Neither....I've always been partial to Irish men ;)

Later update:  Just discovered from facebook, that there will be movies made on Evanovich's books. Ranger will be played by Daniel Sunjata (African American, Irish and German) and Morelli will be played by Jason O'Mara!  Sound's Irish?..yup born and raised in Dublin and comes complete with Irish accent!!! What a hoot!! Really, they couldn't find a good looking Latino and an Italian hunk?   Guess I'm not the only one partial to Irish men!!
