Wine @ 9:30!

We all have those days, where you just start off on the wrong foot, where you are the bug not the windshield. Yesterday, I started out as the bug. My day began awaking startled as I discovered it was 7:09, Sophie's bus comes @ 7:15....and my schedule was jam packed until 9:30PM when I would shuffle Jill home from Basketball. John was off to NYC and suddenly I was faced with the chaos it all, alone. All day I was counting the hours to 9:30, when I would finally arrive at home and could pour a glass of wine and unwind...all day, 9:30 was my time, my mantra, just get to 9:30. At 9:00, I went back to watch the last 15 minutes of Jill's practice and was smacked with a dose of "get your priorities in order" reality. The human spirit and this girl never ceases to amaze me. She has NEVER played BBall and was quite nervous for her first practice, as you can imagine. But there she was, out there, owning that ball, running the court, smiling, and RUNNING!!! I can't explain...
