Today

Call it what you will, mother's intuition maybe, but sometimes, moms know exactly what you need. 

Waking up, I knew it was going to be a rough day. I went downstairs and my mom looked at me and said, "You know, it wouldn't hurt anything if you didn't go to school today." I thought that I was going to cry of relief. Well, I did, but not until I got into my room and back into my bed. I don't know where this came from, my mom never, and I mean NEVER lets me stay home from school, unless I am severely sick. I mean yes, last night I did think that I was going to die, and she was well aware of the fact. I guess I must not have looked much better this morning dreading the emotional turmoil that I was certain would be at school, knowing that if I went to school on four hours of sleep, nothing could have gone right. Today was a much needed (and appreciated) mental health day. 

In my pillow fort that I have constructed on my stairs, I have finished my to do list for ring ceremony, decreasing my level of stress more than I thought it would. I have gotten my tea fix, taken a much needed relaxing bath and devoured many more Oreos than I am willing to admit to. Sometimes moms know exactly what you need.

Yes, I know that my problems will still be there tomorrow, but sometimes I just need a little extra sleep and relaxing time to be able to handle what is in front of me. 

Peace.

P.S. Happy Birthday to Emma Watson! (No wonder this day didn't suck... It could never with someone as amazing as her born on this day!)
