I got the don’t wannas tonight or rather this morning!  Singing “I got the don’t wannas tonight or rather this morning!”  Come on don’t be shy!  We all get them and I got it right now.  Maybe I can write my way out of this.  Maybe this won’t even get published but then again, if I am up this late I might as well.

Usually I get home and put some things away right away like it is the only way.  When I got home tonight, before I could even unload the groceries I had to chop ice off my step in order to get the outside door open.  Luckily I was smart enough to put some salt on the step before I left as I could barely get out of the door.  This is a yearly thing that has yet to be solved.  All I know is I don’t wan’t salt tracked in on my floors.  In fact I carried my salt to my blazer and my ice chipper as I didn’t know what I would be coming home to.

More ice built up.  The dogs knew I was home.  They were barking anxiously awaiting me to open the door.  I tried opening the outside door and it wouldn’t open all the way.  I went to my blazer, got the salt out and sprinkled the salt on the high spots.  Now I have to wait for the salt to work it’s magic.  I wasn’t very patient as I had two dogs still barking.  So I went and got the ice chipper called “The Brute” and it can really break that ice.  The problem is that it is hard work!  Suddenly, I didn’t hear any dogs barking.  I must have scared them!

I finally made my way into the house and Lily was a talking up a storm.  Frederick couldn’t get a single word in.  They are ready to go outside for their duties and I let them out on the other side of the house.  But first I had to take my snowboots off so I wouldn’t track salt in.  

Now they are back in and what do I do but have to check out facebook.  Please don’t tell me you haven’t because I know you have.  Yup, this is where the “I don’t wannas” creeped in.  Now it is really late and I have really made a crisis for myself.  But have I?

I don’t know why my thinking was all the stuff in the picture had to go in the fridge.  Do I have enough room?  I am thinking no way.  So I get up from this chair to take assessment and I then recalled I told the gal to put all the perishable items together.  The thing is that I always say that.  So would you believe everything that had to go into the refrigerator is in there!  All I have left to put away is the dry goods that don’t need to be refrigerated.  

Now I must make a decision.  Do I stay up even later putting the rest away or do I make an exception to the rule and leave them for tomorrow?  Do you see how much dancing I’m doing?  I am wearing myself out!  Then the “Aha Moment” came.  Lay out your clothes for tomorrow, get your coffee ready, shine your sink, wash your face and GO TO BED.  I think I will also be sleeping in tomorrow too.  One of the things that I had to do in town was go back to the eye doctor to check on my dry eyes.  They weren’t any better so he put plugs in and my eyes are beginning to get sore not just from the computer but I know those plugs are in my tear ducts.  The stuff he put in my eyes to numb them has wore off and the best thing I can do for myself is close my eyes and go to bed.

So there you have it. “Dance Till You FLY!”  It is what I had to do so that I could FLY meaning to FIRST LOVE YOURSELF and that means I will have some extra work to with putting away the rest of the things I purchased tomorrow but I am willing to make this decision because I knew I couldn’t do it all and I chose the things that make me FLY!
Dance Till You FLY!
