Opportunity Costs

When I was in high school economics, I loved to talk about the theory of opportunity costs-that for every choice we make, there is a cost. Sunday Marc tried to let me have a relaxing day. I got to take two naps, I got to iron my clothes for the week, I actually got to read the Sunday paper and clip the coupons! But as I laid in bed trying to get a nap in, all I could think of were the other "costs" I would have to deal with by opting to nap: dinner would not be prepped; Lucas' laundry would not get done; we would not take that walk we had been talking about for two days; I would not be going grocery shopping. I became so preoccupied that I had to get up. When I got downstairs, Marc looked at me and asked, "What are you doing up?" He has this remarkable ability to just turn off his brain. Mine spins uncontrollably.
