When a mama falls asleep at 8:30pm...

...she awakens with an unusual spring in her step... at 5:20am!

...she feels fresh; she feels unusually good; she wonders what alien has taken over her body!

...she has to tiptoe around the house so as not to arouse all the sleeping lions.

...she beats the baby to the milk line.

...she gets to wrestle with the kiddos and Daddy in bed (because there's actually time to spare!)

...she gets to be The Claw, The Clothinator, and then The Chasinator (coined by T) to get boys ready for the day.

...she greets her day, rather than the day greeting her; she participates, rather than passively watching.

...she thanks God for sleep.

Can I get an amen?!

AMEN!!!

M has been waking up so much at night this week and it has left me less than spry!

I love how you said that you were able to greet your day rather than the other way around.
