morning comes too early

my head is stuffed,

my eyes feel puffy,

and for the record

I am not feeling the early morning love today

this is not unusual

but today i REALLY don't want to be awake yet!!!

YES, It is BeAuTiFuL outside

the weather is nice and cool

it smells nice

The sun is shining brightly--

(rather rudely in my eyes--that i wish were still closed.)

I stayed up really late or very early last night.

(it's a perspective thing)

Mothers of babies and teenagers have something in common

LOOSING SLEEP

I thought once my babies were sleeping through the night

my sleepless nights were over

I was incorrect in my assumption.

I felt the need to stay up waiting....

until daughter #1 got home from work.

(trying to be a responsible mom)

She had a private pool rental till 3am.

at 3:15 I started calling her

(i figured the sooner she got home

the sooner i could go to sleep)

I don't like having my kiddo's out that late,

especially driving home at that time of day.

Everything was fine

my worry for naught.

And there she is

fast asleep,

while i have to wake up

and run siblings to different locations.

stay awake thereafter because

little man is now awake.

WIDE AWAKE.

Have i mentioned before

that "I DON'T DO MORNINGS?"

"Most people

do not consider dawn

to be an attractive experience

- unless they are still up."
