Sunday

Ahh, it is Sunday again. The day I spend all day doing the homework that I have successfully hidden from myself since Thursday afternoon. The day I kick myself in the butt for yet again forgetting that I have 24 hours worth of assignments to do in less than 12 hours. Sunday and I normally have a very special agreement. But on this Sunday, I am going to attempt to get my work done even faster, as today is just entirely too beautiful to spend inside! The gorgeous weather has definitely been a problem for me the past few days. I just want to work in the yard, spend hours upon hours perusing the many isles at Home Depot and Lowe's, and sit on my front porch and listen to the chirp of the birds as they eat the freshly laid grass seed out of my front lawn. For the sake of my school work, I must pretend it is raining cats and dogs and that a blizzard of magnificent proportions is headed this direction. I am trying to tune out the sunshine shining through the many windows surrounding my heavily burdened computer desk, begging for me to just take a quick peek through the closed blinds. It beckons for me to take that one single glance. But I know, with that one glimpse, I will be sucked in until long after night fall. Until the lightning bugs of late afternoon retire. Until I can no longer smell the fresh cut grass of my neighbor’s lawn. But then, who would want to miss the bats flying after those pesky mosquitoes, or the “woot woot” of the owl in the distant tree awaiting the appearance of his next meal to come out in the still dark. Maybe, for the sake of my homework, I should relocate my whole desk to my front yard, printer and all! Apparently, Sunday and I will not agree today; we just cannot agree!
