Last night I had a first-day-of-school outfit all picked out, ready to go (juvenile as that is). I also had my bag ready with my new notebook and my favorite pencil inside. I was ready for school. Well...I haven't had the best sleeping habits as of late and falling asleep around 2:30am has become the norm . Since I had to get up at 6:50 for my 8 o clock class I decided to take some Motrin PM to help me fall asleep sooner. Big mistake.
I took two pills at about 10 o clock and laid in bed reading, hoping to be in dream land by 10:30/11ish. As you've probably assumed, that didn't happen. My legs start tripping out. I would feel this ticklish/itchy feeling start creeping up in my legs and I would have to move them to get it out. So every 15 seconds (or at least that's what it felt like) I would be thrashing my legs around, trying to get them to feel normal. I lifted my head up to look for my phone to see what time it was and it weighed 300 pounds. Then I lifted my arm up to grab my phone and it too weighed 300 pounds. My body felt so heavy and so so tired yet I couldn't fall asleep. I was trying not to freak out too bad because I thought that might wake me up more so I silently tried to calm myself down, and relax enough to drift off. That never works.
I don't know what time I fell asleep last night but all of a sudden I woke up, checked my phone and saw that it was 7:47. Great. I didn't even hear my alarm go off. The funny thing is I was vividly dreaming about Peter Pan and Captain Hook so it must have went off and the Captain Hook inside of me turned it off really quickly. Because he hates clocks so apparently in my head that means he hates alarm clocks too so it had to be destroyed at once! Quick before the mind registers what's happening and makes the body get out of the warm, cozy bed! I don't know, guys. All I know is that I ate some breakfast, put on jeans, a hoodie and slippers, brushed my teeth, and left. No first day outfit. No cutesy first day impression. Just me keepin' it real in my glasses, make-up free face, and bed head. Hawt.
Talk about expectations vs. reality!
