Because if I don't, then today will be a complete write off. This morning, at the crazy early time of 5:30, my youngest peered into my face asking for breakfast. I managed to stall her off until 5:45 when it was clear to methat neither of us were going to get any more sleep. I fixed myself a coffee, filled her cup with juice and brought a small bowl of her "pink cheerios" upstairs so we could watch TV. I figured since I was up, I'd get on my laptop and do the usual email and Facebook check and whatever else interested me at the time. But... sweet blonde haired, grey-eyed daughter of mine wanted to "cungle wif mom". So I set my computer aside and cuddled my sleepy-warm, pajama-clad, sweet-smelling toddler.
I will admit, my frustration increased when I saw Joshua and Arianna come down the hall, just minutes after 6:00. My day was going to be off to a rip-roaring start and it was SO early. I don't ask for much but I really just wanted to be alone for a little while. It didn't seem like that was in the cards for me today.
I am having to make a conscious effort to be pleasant today simply because of how it started. I'm going to need a super amount of patience and probably a few more cups of coffee.
