Waking up early

This is just a quick one. no videos, no pics, no witty words, just a quick statement. For those of you who have been with me since the beginning, do you remember how I used to get up with Charlie every morning at something like 5:18, like on the dot. And how I probably complained about it, but then like most things adjusted and began enjoying the mornings with charlie. Well, like everything, it changed and soon he was sleeping in, till 630-700 and I thought we had made major progress. I thought wow, that took two years but now he sleeps in until at least 6. well it wasn't because he got older I have come to realize, it is because the time was changing, arent times always changing? Bob D had that right!

So, now with the time change he is once again an early riser, but this time it is more like 4:45 or this morning 4:20......that number used to represent something happy, now it represents the start time to my day. that bites. That is more than two hours before the sun is up, almost 5 hours before mama is ready for Charlie, 3 hours before pa comes upstairs to make coffee, and 8 hours before nap time. 

So here I am 11:24 and I have done more than many do in a whole day. And I am ready for bed. like nighttime bed.

This is what I have done:

listen to my son read book after book with my head under the covers trying to close my eyes

went back and forth from the kitchen to his bed with milk and snacks,

cleaned the kitchen

Made coffee for me and adam, and breakfast for the whole famdamily

Went to a kickass step class, 60 minutes of pure cardio

Packed up a van full of baby clothes and gadgits to take to my bf jackie for her new baby girl

Changed a few poopies and sets of clothes.

nursed a few times

made and ate lunch.

thought about dinner enough to bust out the cookbook and strategize as to how I am going to make dinner with the kids and swim class tonight.

negotiated with charlie as to when naptime will be.

carried a sleeping baby on my back

and now about to make charlie his second lunch.

Isnt that enough for a day, ahh but there are 8 more hours left.....

good to be the mama!
