Early birds get to enjoy their kids without grumpiness!

Early bird catches the worm... I don't know about all of that, but I do know that when I get up earlier I feel much better about my whole day. My husband leaves for work early and I wake up when he does. Some days I stay in bed and sleep a little bit longer until my little early birdies wake up! I usually try to get up and start my day when he does. I like the quiet time and it gives me time to wake up and not be a grouch when the kids wake up raring to go, or on days like today when one of the boys is cranky! This morning I have cleared up the office from when Matt's parents were here... finally! I also moved and relocated my craft things and moved the microwave. I took time to sit and relax and have time to just sit, which is something that I should do, but I rarely do for enough time. Matt has been on block leave, which was 2 weeks off! It was so incredible, but it also let me slack on the spotless cleaning I like to do. It was good to only do the cleaning and chores that needed to be done, but it is time to get back into the groove of things. The boys are going to continue to do their fun learning, which includes multiplication, fractions and writing for Bruce and spelling, writing numbers and adding for Levi. It amazes me how smart the kids are and how quickly they pick up things. They make me so proud to be their mom! They have gotten better about doing chores and they want to learn and read and play. I can't beleive that Bruce is 8 and Levi is 4 and they are both almost half way to being 9 and 5. 3rd grade and pre-K are approaching and they are getting older and growing everyday. I am babbling, but sometimes thoughts just spew out of my head at random moments. What started out as talking about getting up early and how good it makes me feel to do that turned into being proud of my boys and blessed to be their momma.
