Sleeping In!

Let me just start by saying that it never works out how you hope it will. Sleeping in that is!

Max is usually my sleep-in kid. Last week he was still in bed at 8:00 every morning, in fact, last Monday, I actually had to wake him at 8:30 in order for him to get dressed and eat something before we left the house at 8:55 to take Maggie to school. Maggie on the other hand is pretty much our alarm clock…the girl is up at 6:45ish every morning just trying to find something to keep herself entertained until her clock turns to 7:00. However, once you get her some OJ, she will go downstairs and turn on Playhouse Disney…and lay quietly by herself on the couch. It is kinda nice.

So, last night we had a babysitter. (Thanks again Hayley! Oh and just let me tell you again how awesome it is to have 9 confirmation girls who are always eager to baby-sit!) Andy and I played euchre with our card group, (we always have so much fun…it’s a great group of people and boy did we have some good food last night…) anyway…the kids got to stay up later than normal, one of the special perks of having a babysitter and they also got to watch Star Wars…more on the Star Wars topic yet to come, and so…………

Why, oh why, did Max get up so early today? 6:30ish to be more exact. Why, oh why, couldn’t he have slept in till 8:00 or 8:30, or even 7:00 for that matter? Do these young people know that Mommy stayed up later than normal…had a few cocktails….would love to sleep in just a little? Do they know it is Saturday, the day when no one has to be up at a certain time? I guess not.

But, I’m going to look on the bright side…it could have been a lot earlier and he didn’t have to wake me with such tender, sweet Max kisses. Those kisses have already made my day!

I hope you all have a great Saturday too!
