Anything But Gray

I start waking the kids up at around 7:30am. Sometimes they get right up, sometimes they linger…
Then at around 7:45am I wake up Zak. Sometimes he gets right up, sometimes he lingers…
When they linger, I have to keep going back to try to wake them up.
This can be a frustrating ritual, as last time I checked, I do not come equipped with a snooze button.

So this morning they are lingering. Jaime finally gets up and I tell her "Daddy's having a hard time getting up too."
She looks into our bedroom and sees Zak still in bed. She goes running into the bedroom and jumps up in the bed and gets under the covers and cuddles up with Zak. Zak puts an arm around her, pulls her close and says "Now we just need to get rid of Mom." Jaime laughs and says "Get rid of Mom?" Zak says "Yeah, so we can sleep some more."

Nice, huh?
Like I'm the sleep police and my only purpose on the planet is to keep them from going back to sleep.

Oh, how I love being a mom! LOL
