Every morning, usually before sunrise, I am met by this little face. Sure, it's cute here, but not as much in the dark when your not sure what is sniffling and snotting in your ear! He usually crawls in our bed, or I go to his with the high hopes of getting more sleep. Those hopes are almost always shattered.
(6:15 am today waiting for his chocolate milk)
Kevin is up skiing with friends for the weekend and it was just me heading up to bed (way too late) last night. The boys had a birthday party set for 9:30 am! So, I reached for the alarm. Suddenly, it struck me. I probably have a better chance of winning the lottery or getting struck by lightning than getting to sleep in so late we would miss a 9:30am party!
I used to hate my alarm clock. Now, I don't know why! The ability to accurately predict the time I start my day sounds wonderful now. The ability to hit snooze and get a few more minutes of sleep sounds glorious.
Someday, I know I'll have to use that alarm clock again (and I won't appreciate it), but for now the drips of snot before sunrise will have to do!
(Disclaimer- his black eye was not my attempt to hit snooze- he fell off a chair last night.)
