After having worked all day on Saturday, her plan was to sleep in on Sunday. She takes a quick shower, gets into her PJs and lays down. Sleep finds her in a second.
The next morning passes and she’s still in bed. Kids and hubby are hungry, having woken up early. But they know how hard she worked, so they let her be, have a quick snack and wait, assuming she’d wake up in time for a brunch.
Early afternoon and she’s still in bed.
Is something wrong with mom? A peek inside the bedroom is greeted with a loud snore. Well, at least she’s alive. Should we wake her up to cook us brunch? Nah… let her be. A protein bar would do for now….
Mid-afternoon.
Oh man, I’m so hungry, why doesn’t mom wake up? We missed breakfast and brunch already! What are we going to eat today? Linner?
4:30 PM she finally wakes up. All relaxed and refreshed.
Until, that is, she gets out of the bedroom and the family sends her directly to the kitchen. And thus her house work starts all over again, to be added to the office job tomorrow…
And life goes on…
This was written in response to last week’s Writer’s Digest Writing Prompt: Brunch
I must admit that brunch did not inspired me much, so it took me a while to write, and it ended up that brunch was just mentioned (and missed! 😉 in the story. But I guess i like the way it turned out.
