- Hmmm...why am I up? It's only 6:15.
- Oh, right...I have to pee.
- I'll go pee and then go right back to bed.
- Gotta be quiet...don't want to wake Husband.
- Back to sleep.
- Wow...it's 9:15 already?
- I can't believe I fell back to sleep for that long.
- Ew...it's cloudy out.
- I'm going back to sleep.
- I don't really have anything to do today anyway.
- I hate cloudy days.
- Husband's still sleeping too.
- Ohmigosh...it's 11:00.
- That's pretty late.
- Where's Husband?
- Oh, he's downstairs making me breakfast.
- Nice...
- How nice...he already brought my coffee up.
- Love that man.
- Thanks for breakfast, Honey.
- I'm just going to watch some HGTV while I eat.
- Then I'll get in the shower.
- Yeah...we can go grocery shopping whenever...no rush.
- Not too much to do today...after all, it's cloudy.

My Actual Morning
- Holy shit.
- It's 6:00 already.
- I wish I'd set it for 6:15.
- Damn...it's cloudy for the bazillion-th day in a row.
- I'll just shut my eyes for a minute.
- Husband's still sleeping, so it makes it okay for me.
- Holy shit.
- It's 6:24.
- I should get up and throw some coffee down my throat before those little Crazies wake up.
- But it's so cloudy.
- Just a few minutes of laying here.
- Then I'll get up.
- Goddammit!
- It's 6:42.
- Matt's average wake-up time this week has been 6:38.
- I'm screwed.
- I gotta get up.
- Where the hell is my robe?
- Damn dog makes so much noise...just gotta not kill her until Friday when the groomer comes.
- Nice that you have to set a schedule to NOT kill the dog.
- Why is the coffee blinking?
- Oh right, I didn't refill it yesterday.
- Fill it up.
- Don't spill it.
- You're still half asleep.
- Snap out of it!
- Pee.
- Okay, coffee is ready for milk.
- "MOOOOOMMMMMMM!!!"
- WTF?
- Shit!
- I didn't even get milk into my coffee.
- This is very unfair!
- "Mom, I will be vewy vewy quiet if you bwing me downstaiws."
- "Can't you just read a book for a few minutes?"
- "Ummm...I don't think that's gonna work for me." (hand to God, that's what he said)
- "Whimper, whimper, whine."
- "Hailey, I'll come back up for you."
- I still haven't put any damn milk in my coffee.
- I want to go back to bed.
- It's freaking cloudy out.
- "Hailey, do you want to come downstairs too?"
- "Nope...I wanna lie here and you leave the door open."
- "Okay...call me when you're ready."
- Change Matt into undies, get him milk, hear more whimpering.
- "Hailey, what's up? Are you ready to come down?"
- Vigorous nodding.
- Matt's at the bottom of the stairs.
- Maybe he could put milk in my coffee.
- "Where's Daddy?"
- "Shhh...he's still sleeping."
- "Oh no...der he is...where's he going?"
- "Um...apparently into the shower...the nice warm steamy shower. All alone..."
- "Why?"
- "You got me."
- "Can I have a snack? And a drink? And my blanket?"
- And it starts...flu vaccinations, breakfast, and Tae Kwon Do today...not the lazy morning I used to have, but I got a couple of great hugs.
