It’s 7 AM
Let’s Get Ready to Rumble!!!!!
The Mattress Today is one of those days where she could just curl up under the covers.
The Mind: No, she has to go to work. She has papers to grade, midterm reports to complete and a class to teach.
The Mattress: But the bed is so comfy. And the Boy is snuggled in with her.
The Mind: Today is a short day. She is done at 12:30. She can come home and take a nap.
The Mattress: She will be wide awake by then. Plus I heard her tell Husband that she will be working on the computer this afternoon. She won't be back until bedtime.
The Mind: Stop your bitching and let her get up. You sound like one of her students. Plus, I smell coffee. Husband just made some.
The Mattress: OK, you win. Same battle tomorrow.
Score: Mind 1, Mattress 0
About Me
- Seeking Solace
- I am a college professor who is fumbling through the chaos of academia, rheumatoid arthritis, working on my PhD and just being a 40 something woman. I used to be a lawyer, which made me a snarky little person. I have a wonderful Husband and a German Shepherd named Junior. They help keep me sane.

My mattress is much more aggressive than that. It just refuses to let me leave.
I go thru that daily, but at 6. And I play the "can I get away with one more hit on the snooze button?" game.
