The Difference

I have felt a bit crabby lately.

Could be the potty training. Could be the sibling fighting. Could be that I am just not as patient as I always believed.

But no.  That’s not it.

I actually figured it out today. How?  Because I was over the moon happy all day. Was patient with the small people. Was, in fact, in love with them. The potty training didn’t faze me. The tattling was at a minimum.  i didn’t raise my voice even one time. We had FUN, yes, with a capital ‘F’.

So, what, you ask, was different about today?

The way I woke up. 

I am NOT a morning person.  And for the past weeks, at least one of the small people has jolted me awake.  By jolted I mean pounced, bellowed, screamed, kicked or poked me in the face.

But not today.  Today I woke up at 7am  to *cue bluebirds chirping and me in Snow White attire* absolutely nothing.  Not only did they sleep in, but when they did awake - a mere 20 minutes later - they played together.  I could hear Delaney teaching Coop to read.

Heavenly, I tell you.

That, my friends, is what it is like to wake up on the RIGHT SIDE OF THE BED.

What are the chances it can happen again tomorrow?

*Fingers Crossed*
