Murphy’s Law…bites sometimes, doesn’t it?

All this weekend, I checked the online subbing website trolling for subbing jobs for this week.  I had jobs for Wednesday and Thursday but none for Monday and Tuesday.  I don’t make much as it is, but to not work for two days…not good.

So last night I had myself a good ole time…knitting the night away.  I mean, if I wasn’t going to work on Monday why go to bed early?

I did hit the sack around 12pm, but then I had trouble falling asleep.  I remember looking at the clock around 1am.  Not good.  I finally drifted off, though.

And of course I didn’t set my alarm clock.  Fortunately, my phone woke me up at 6am.  Good timing!  That’s when I usually jump in the shower after hitting the snooze six times (ten minutes per snooze).  I jumped up and, just for fun, decided to call the sub hotline.

Uh oh…there was a job available at my favorite high school…for the art teacher.

I contemplated.

Should I pretend I didn’t hear it and do what I had planned to do today?  I mean, who can resist sweeping the floors and washing walls, for heaven’s sake?  Or, should I choose to go out and earn some money.

The lure of money, however paltry, was too much.  I caved and accepted the assignment.

I’ve gotta tell you that I’m feeling a little nauseous, and my tummy isn’t feeling so great either.  That’s what happens when my body misses out on a good night’s sleep.

So here I sit, on Planning, waiting for my day to truly begin.

That’s okay.  I’m thankful that God provided, just as He always does.
