give and take

you would think that by now i've learned that writing blog posts while feeling loopy due to lack of slumber doesn't usually deliver pleasing results. when i return to re-read the words i came up with at a later time, i'm usually baffled but i shall make an attempt. last night i tried my darndest to sleep at the respectable hour of 11:00. i tossed and turned for quite a time. sweet husband's alarm was set for 3am yup, three o'clock am, you read that right...as he had big plans to venture to mexico to play in the ocean against my will. the trek to mex scares me a tad and i don't love hanging out at home worried that he will be savagely ripped apart and eaten by a school of hammerhead sharks or a mexican for that matter. not being able to call his cell doesn't help the situation. I couldn't sleep after he left. worried for his life and for my own once i started hearing odd early morning noises around my house that had me shaking in my slippers. i nearly woke up Emmy to bring her in bed with me, and then i realized that a two year old probably wouldn't be able to save me from a vicious attack of an intruder, so i let her sleep. i finally dozed off around 6am. Emmerson decided to wake up at 6:30 for the day today. you can imagine the disorientation of my brains at this very moment. I felt that to make up for my tired worrisome heart, there was really only one thing aside from a safe return from the husband that would be able to make me feel at ease. shopping. that was the deal. gregory john goes surfing in mexico, i can indulge in some retail therapy. I bet poor husband didn't see it coming that his fairly cheap - once you have the gear, nearly free hobby would get so expensive one day. regardless, today, i give thanks for living 4 minutes from the mall...and for the credit cards sweet husband pulled out of his wallet and left on the computer desk to avoid getting stolen in mexico. happy saturday!
