a flash of delight

I try not to use my blog for complaining but sometimes you just gotta.

I got no sleep last night. How I was able to get up at 4:30 am is beyond me. I think I felt my heart crack a little bit when my alarm went off. There were coyotes in the field behind our feild last night that were making Harlow nervous and restless, and me too. Have you ever heard coyotes? They make the most awful noise and it’s really creepy in the middle of the night. At one point Harlow jumped up and growled… a real growl, just like a real dog. I was pretty proud of her but it scared the living daylights out of me. I think she scared herself too. So I had to keep my hand on her all night to keep her calm. So while she is calm and snoozing I’m wide awake listen to every single sound imagining rabid coyotes charging through my sliding glass door (which only the screen was closed). Pathetic I know. And a skunk sprayed somewhere nearby. Oh how I love nature.

And then this morning I’m half way to work I realize I’d forgotten my purse/cell phone/make up/wallet/life at home. Gah! I have realized that I cannot live my life to the fullest without: 1. bobby pins 2. my phone 3. eye drops 4. lip balm/lipstick 5. hand cream. Today the au natural look was not a pretty look. And I have had horrible allergies all day and of course my eye drops are in my purse.

So I’ve been sleepy, grumpy and not cute all day. I know. My life is hard.
