Sleeping in was one of them. She never took extra sleep for granted and when the opportunity arose, she grabbed. Not often, as a single mother did she get a day off. When Rege had the boys, she worked extra at the restaurant. So pretty much, every single day of the school year was spent getting up early. She had a Wednesday off and when the boys begged to stay home from camp because they didn’t want to do Charade day, Macy played along. She pretended that they convinced her, when in actuality she saw the chance to sleep in. She did. No alarm clock was set and she allowed her body to naturally wake when it was ready. Two hours of extra sleep was a gift to her physical being. The boys were already awake, eating cereal and playing video games. She had her coffee and relaxed. A perfect day. She had errands to run, and figured she could get them done, get back and still have plenty of enough to be lazy.
