I wonder what it's like to just wake up. Ya know, just have your eyes open on their own in the morning and decide - "Hey self, I think I'd like to get up now"..... I have no recollection of what that's like. While I was talking to my sister today I thought about how nice it must be to do that. I mean, I know people without children are tired too, but I have no choice. If I stay in bed a little longer, mayhem could be downstairs in less than 5 minutes. Children would starve, fight, pour cereal all over the ground....
Last night I went to bed with visions of waking up rested, working out hard, making cookies and getting things done. A perfect Saturday! Instead, my poor daughter decided to scream from about 30 minutes after I laid my head down until 1:15AM... Poor girl, I have no idea what was wrong with her, but she seemed to just want to play.... too bad she doesn't understand the words - It is One Fifteen in the morning, dear! Because that could have solved our problem right there.
So, today, I will do my best. Because I know that in just a short time this will all be over. Scarlett will not need me in the middle of the night, I will look in on her and want to wake her up as I do sometimes with Noah. Also, I will try not to eat all of the cookie dough that is meant to make yummy cookies for family we love :)
P.S. If in fact, no one reading this gets any cookies, I apologize.... I'm only human ;)
