Second Draft...

Here I sit, alone with my thoughts, full well knowing that I should be sound asleep... Anticipating my six a.m. wake up call of "Ma" ringing though the halls... But no, here I am, basking in the glow of the computers screen, clicking and clacking, thinking and wishing, writing and erasing.... Pondering the deep as well as the shallow... Contemplating the meaning of life and then moments later testing my personal preference of pattern vs. solid... I think I have crossed over to pattern???

Around twenty minutes ago I began humming the melody of "Feelin' The Same Way"set to the swish and swash of the dishwasher hard at work in the kitchen... Sounds good. I have checked on my sleeping babies three times. First for a temperature check, the air conditioner can be a bit brisk at night. The second time for a lighting adjustment, I turn on the nightlight around 10:00 pm... And the third time to marvel at my best work, my most beautiful of creations, sleeping beauties, my little boys. Brooklyn and his babies, Sebastian and his snuggle guys, Momma takes a deep breath in and then lets it out... Another day, alive, abundant... And then back downstairs... Fill and set the timer for the coffee machine, can't forget to do that... Top off Bella's water bowl and feed Cutie. Moments ago I contemplated vacuuming out the back seat of my car but then realized that the noise of the shop vac might be disruptive to not only my own family, but tho the family's that reside around ours... Bad idea, the entire bag of spilled popcorn will just have to wait until the morning for removal. I wish Anthony had not been so darn tired and would not have made his trek to la la land so early this evening. I understand his sleepiness and tonight, I wish it were contagious. I did record Project Runway and I could watch it, but I won't. I could check my FaceBook but I refuse to as I checked it earlier in the day and am limiting my time on that time stealer of a website...
