Wishful Thinking

I have a big-time social commitment tonight, but all I really want to do is curl up by the fireplace with a cup of hot tea and a good book and listen to nothing but the sound of the wood crackling.

But then there’s reality.

I can’t do that.  And considering the fact that it’s summer in the desert, it would be downright stupid to get a fire going.

So instead, I’m working my butt off to finish a bunch of stuff that needs to get done, then I’m off to be in a big room surrounded by around a ton of people.

*sigh*

It’ll be fun.  I’ll have a good time.

But I’d still rather spend the evening alone by the crackling fireplace.

    Damn it Tamra! I am supposed to be doing lesson plans! Instead I have spent the past hour reading your ridiculously hilarious and accurate stories on parenting ;)

    The ton of people in the big room appreciated your efforts! It was excellent competition music tonight, start to finish. And the social dance music was first rate too.

    It’s totally OK to want to stay home curled up by the fire and to also honor your commitments and show up for the ton of people in the big room (who appreciate you tremendously.)

    I remember one summer staying at a local hotel and turning the A/C way down so we could enjoy the fire in the fireplace. Seriously decadent. Loved it.

    Great job on all fronts tonight – music, dancing, etc., etc.

    love you always.

    that’s kinda how i’m feeling this morning. i have so much to do today, and it actually involves human beings outside of my own family. *sigh* i just want to curl up in a really big fluffy arm chair, a crackling fireplace, and a really good book…

    I’ve been feeling that way for about the past 5 social events that I’ve gone to. I thing my social interaction button broke at the same time that my motivation button broke.
