you capture: reaching

REACHING

I have to admit up front, that this picture took no skill or creativity, and I simply used my iPhone quickly to grab the shot. I don't have my favorite camera with me, so this week's entry to "you capture" will be more story based.

(yes, that is sticky apple juice on the dresser)

My family is currently in Las Vegas. I was there with them, until last night. My husband has extra vacation time a-go-go, I do not. He had 5 days to spare this week, I did not. So, we all drove to Vegas together on Sunday, spent 3 wonderful days relaxing, sitting by the pool, enjoying shows, sightseeing, etc. And then I flew back alone on Tuesday night.

After getting settled in back home, I crawled into bed, got quite a lot of reading in, snuggled into the pillows, and had a DREAMY nights' sleep, since kids didn't poke and kick at me all night. I woke up early and got ready with ease, since I could leave lights on, doors open and not have to tiptoe around. I got in the car early, and headed off to work. I was proud of myself for not being rushed.

As I looked around as I drove down the street towards the freeway, traffic seemed especially heavy for 6:30am. Normally I don't share the road with anyone. And, I wasn't making any of the traffic lights like I normally do.

Wait a minute....

It's not, 6:30, it's 7:30!!!!

I had acclimated to daylight savings time 4 days ago in Vegas, but I never changed my alarm clock at home! Talk about panic...I start work at 7!

Turns out it was no big deal, my boss was cool and everyone got a good chuckle. But seriously, I'm 34 and I still mess up DST.

I'm S.M.R.T.
