Join me in the
Five Minute Friday Challenge hosted by Lisa-Jo Baker. Participants write for 5 minutes
with no editing, no over thinking, and no backtracking. This week’s word is: Jump.
(Go)
To jump or not
to jump? Whether ‘tis nobler to dress and get ready for the day at my own pace
- or to race around like a maniac arriving late and puffing, but there. To be
present for a child, despite his only informing me the night before of the
presentation at school. A one off opportunity. To find out, upon inquiry, that it has already begun… Jump.
To jump or not
to jump? Whether ‘tis nobler to stay in bed and let my achingly tired body rest
– or to push myself beyond present limits in order to take a child to
playgroup. To arrive late and dizzy, but there. Or to carry on as if it were
like every other day, keeping quiet and not using the ‘P’ word unless the child
should mention it first. To explain that Mummy’s body doesn’t always work
properly. There will be playgroup again next week… Not to jump.

Now, your
turn…

DeleteSometimes we just have to say no to things we wish we could do. I liked the Shakespearean touch ;). My lament should be to sleep or not to sleep, that is the question. HA! Will pray that you get to feeling better soon. Sorry you are having a tired, achy week. Hugs!
ReplyDeleteMy apologies to Shakespeare! I did kind of bring it on myself though, but thanks. Bless you heaps :o)
