It's a Monday.

As I was getting ready for bed Saturday night, I set a few alarms for the following morning. Sunday morning rolled around-I woke up around 7 and called Crystal to make sure she was awake. I went back to bed thinking my other alarm would wake me up by 8:30 if I wasn't up. 9:45 came and I was just getting out of bed! Needless to say, I was late to church.
The reason that I included this is because as I was getting ready for bed last night, I set my alarms, and when I said my prayers, I asked that I would wake up in the morning-even if my alarms didn't go off. If I couldn't be on time for 10:20a.m. church, how in the world was I going to make it to work by 7a.m. without an alarm clock? I went to bed, saying over and over again, "Please let me wake up on time. Please let me wake up on time." Next thing I know, I woke up and sat straight up! I was wide awake-an unfamiliar feeling at 5:30a.m. I was sure I had slept in. I checked the clock and it was 4:10!!! I grumbled, "Are you serious??!" As I tried to fall back asleep for another hour or so, all I could think was that I would sleep too long. Well, 5:30 came quick. I was relieved my alarm worked, and hit the snooze for another few minutes of sleep.
I finally got up, showered, and started getting ready. As I was doing my makeup, I got some eyeliner on my finger. Every other day when this happens, I just wipe it on my rag that is hanging on the towel rack. Out of habit, today's action was no different than any other day. I forgot I had hung my work pants over the rack since I have more room to myself now. (Jessica has moved to another apartment, so I've got "our" side of the bathroom to myself. That will have to be a different post.) Instead of wiping this eyeliner, which isn't just a pencil-it's a gel, on a towel, I proceeded to wipe it on my khaki work pants.
I got to work on time, put my name tag on, counted the drawer, sanitized the desk/computer/phones, and put a smile on my face; I was ready for a full day greeting guests. I have been at work for over three hours, and I just noticed my name tag was upside down.
It's a Monday! And I am grateful for a few good laughs this morning! :)
