late

Yesterday after a very long and restful sleep, I slowly opened my eyes to see what time it was. I rolled over to look at the clock and it read 8:57. NOT GOOD. I have church at 9:00. I remembered my clock was 5 minutes fast. Great. I have 8 minutes to get ready instead of 3. Oh, but it takes about 2.5 mins to get to the church anyway! Also may I remind you that I was supposed to give a talk in church! I instantly started crying and screaming, NO, NO, NO!!! Travis thought I was having a nightmare and tried to console me. When he realized that it was a nightmare coming TRUE, he told me to calm down, stop crying and focus on getting ready.

I literally brushed my teeth, and got dressed at the same time. I combed my bangs, put on some glasses (to mask my hideous face) and hopped in the car and sped to church. I looked and felt disgusting. I didn't have ANY time to wash my face, put makeup on, or find something cute to wear. If I wasn't giving a talk, this would be no big deal. I could sneak right in and no one would notice me, or how awful I looked. BUT NO!!! I had all eyes staring at me the entire meeting! Wonderful. Luckily I had prepared my talk earlier in the week and printed it the day before. What if I had procrastinated and decided to wait until the very last minute? I would have been totally hosed!

I was telling my woes to a friend and she said, "well just think of it this way, you got such good and restful sleep the night before!" Very true. I'm just glad my internal body alarm clock woke me up when it did. I managed to walk in as the opening song was being sung. If I had woke up any later, they might have had to put me last in the program!

After sacrament meeting I ran straight home to actually get ready and make food for my sister's farewell, which was also yesteray, at 1:00. She gave a wonderful talk and I am super proud of her! There was a great turnout for the get-together afterwards. Yesterday turned out to be a great day, but the start of it sure had my heart racing! :)
