Once I am up, and downstairs (thats another problem, those stairs) the first thing I do is put up the coffee...with my k-cups its always quick and easy.....then off to work (after I greet my grandson who gets dropped off by me so grandpa can take him to school) and another stop at DD for another cup of coffee.....And then the day starts.............
a long and hectic day but somehow i do get through it....to make my way home....to start all over again for another day....how nice it would be to retire....imagine getting up without an alarm, to have your breakfast and read the paper. Then maybe actually do shopping early in the morning without a crowd....at my leisure.....call a friend to have lunch out.....do some housework in the afternoon....make dinner and then relax......I would have more time to go into my craft room and actually leisurely make jewelry - instead of running up on Sunday afternoons to quickly squeeze in one or two items. I shouldnt complain because working in a school affords me summers off....so I do get that luxury two months out of the year.
Well, the thought is there and there are only a few more years ahead of me - maybe two?....I will not miss the work....but I will miss the lovely people I work with......until then, I will continue - glad that I do have a job.....but ready to give it up to some younger person......with much more energy.
How do you feel about retirement? Are you retired already? Do you want to retire?

I have worked on and off thru the years, but mostly I've been a homemaker. And now I'm a therapeutic foster parent, so my home is my work, lol. Hubby retired about 5 years ago, and while we still get up early to send the kids off to school, I absolutely love having the day with Hubby. And now that Amanda is working mostly full time, we have Owen, a lot! and still loving it. :)
