Where I gave in.

Succumbed. To the pressure. I just couldn’t take it!!!

Well, alright, it was more like succumbing to heat. I really wish I could say it was pressure from something really really … high pressured, and then feel a lot better about myself, but I think I’m going to have to go with : just plain hot mixed in with fatigue.

B and I were hauling this afternoon. Had to have another pit stop at the Guru’s for some aqua — wouldn’t want to get too hot, ya know. At least we were still out there, moving it and shaking it, despite the high temps.

When we got home, all I could think about was the nice, cool, relaxing pool at Guru Bill’s. It sounded so … fabulous. So perfect. I could feel that water on me.

So. I put on the two piece, which also feels rather liberating to do when hot and no one is home to see you walking around with your butt hanging out. Oh, wait. Maybe that’s just my butt.

Anyway, I’m feeling very excited to do this pool thing, my first pooling of the season and all that excitement and I start to feel a little, okay, a lot sleepy. And suddenly the bed just seemed like the most necessary, most logical thing to do. Just for a few minutes.

Yet. It’s never for a few minutes, right? My few minutes turned into an hour and a half.

I have that tiredish feeling right now, as I’m still trying to wake up. I figure I must have needed this nap. I’ve been getting up very early during the week – by 5 a.m. This is a hard thing for a nighttime loving, late morning rising Taurus to do.

I mean, to be perfectly honest, this whole having kids thing, you want to know what I worry about {besides becoming grotesquely el preggo that I can hardly waddle}? Having to get up multiple times during the night and losing my precious sleep.

That’s how much my sleep means to me. I know that whole, “oh, you have plenty of time to sleep when you die” spiel, but I tend to see this differently. I view my sleep more as a returning to my Source for replenishing. Thus my soul is better equipped for this Earthly experience.

Anyhoo. Off from sleep, onto family.

Maman arrives! Yes. It’s true! Maman is going to be here. In just a couple hours. I can hardly contain myself!!

She’ll be waiting for me post yoga class. I bet we’ll stay up late tonight, talking, catching up on everything and nothing and then my head will fall asleep on her shoulder and I will feel so loved.

It’s so good to have my family surround me. So very, very good.
