Sassy Mom

Stacy Sass McAnulty is a working mom who almost looks forward to her lengthy daily train ride as a way to catch up on books and watch TV shows on her itouch.

My life as the Seven Dwarves

Posted on October 27, 2010

Doc, Grumpy, Happy, Sleepy, Bashful, Sneezy, and Dopey

1. On Saturday I am DOC Mom. After everyone seemed to have made it through the previous week in relative health, my son comes to the breakfast table with a cough that portends tissues and bad tasting medicine in the coming days.

2. On Sunday, I am SLEEPY since I stayed up too late Saturday night watching several episodes in a row of True Blood while doing five loads of laundry.

3. On Monday as usual, the train is late, making me GRUMPY. Did I mention it was Monday? Enough said.

4. On Tuesday I am focused and in the thick of projects. A co-worker loves my necklace and I am BASHFUL accepting the compliment. And glad the jewelry is a distraction from the bags that are still under my eyes.

5. Wednesday I am SNEEZY! Must be indoor allergies…am I allergic to work?

6. Thursday I awake thinking it is Friday…but no, clearly many more brain cells have been lost in the night leaving me DOPEY as I slap on the make-up.

7. Friday I am all smiles with a spring in my step, thinking about the weekend plans that include soccer, marching band and sleeping in. HAPPY! Really happy for the blessings I have. Family, work and good health in relative balance.
