What a way to start the day

Alexandra came into our room this morning saying that her clock was different than ours. I told her it didn't matter and that she needed to go back to bed. She looked at me, held her nose and said "you're stinky". I was shocked. I said get back to your room. How dare she come into my room and call me stinky. It must have been my breath because I had showered the night before. I've got to train her to at least say "good morning" before she says I'm stinky.

Mornings...

I love and hate mornings at the same time. Alexandra and Sebastian are the most joyful in the morning. Especially Alexandra. She is also the most obedient in the morning. I hate mornings because I can't seem to wake up. I'm so tired in the morning, that I have a hard time finding my joy. Atticus got up this morning at 5:30 AM but thankfully he'll go back to sleep within the hour. It's still an interruption though. I know, I should just be thankful for the sleep I get. Didn't I mention that in a previous post?

The morning blues....

Sometimes when Alexandra comes in my room and says "mom it's morning time. Time to get up." and my eyes can't be pryed open (like this morning) I wonder if mornings will ever get easier. Atticus has been doing about 7-8 hours at night but I'm still up with him between 5 and 6 AM. So I go back to sleep for an hour or so before the other two kids "make" me get up. I think the other factor is that it's still dark or mostly dark here at 8 AM. Maybe if I could see the sun, It would be easier to get up. I should get use to that though right, I do live in Michigan and winter is coming. OH, I don't want to think about that! I just need more coffee! :) Yeah, yeah, that's it!
