Not such a good idea after all

Today's 100 words:

I allowed myself to sleep in today, which seemed like a good idea when I reset my cell phone alarm but not such a good one when I got up about an hour before I knew the kids would be clamoring to get out of their room. I'm exhausted--didn't fall asleep until 3 a.m.--but I don't feel like an hour of quiet time is enough, especially since my husband is already awake, moving around the house, stepping on creaky floorboards and running water through clanking pipes. Clearly, my mind needs quiet more than my body needs sleep.
