This morning was a first in...well, I think maybe it was a true first. I woke up this morning, looked over at the clock & saw that the time was 7:30 a.m. I then laid there, listened & what did I hear? Nothing. I was the first one to wake up in our household. I didn't bother getting out of bed, instead I laid there & enjoyed the silence. I was surprised that Brad was still sleeping, but not overly since last night was his first night for hockey & he plays at 10 p.m. I was shocked that Jason was still in bed (he is usually up at 6:30 a.m.) & that is the reason I did not get up. If he heard me, he would quickly be out of bed too. So I laid there in silence for 15 minutes before Jason was out of his room like a shot & downstairs looking for us. Of course, nothing he does is done quietly so within minutes we were joined by Brad & Sydney too.
However, this morning gave me hope that we may have a winter where the kids may sleep a little later. Although Brad is the one up at 6:30 on the weekends, it would be nice if he too could have some silence before the kids get up.
I will treasure my "late" morning, however if I tell Robb & Michele about it they will laugh. Last weekend, their household did not wake until 10:30 a.m.! I cannot imagine starting the day that late with a household filled with a six year old & two 18-month old girls.
