I'm not a morning person...no way, no how, uhn uhh!!!  However, I really have to get with it.  Know what I mean?  My husband is up early every morning so he can provide for us, and my littlest Cookie is an early morning riser like his dad.  Before you know it, Sarah's up and leaving for work, Zeb joins Lucas, here comes Arrena, Tornado Nellie is spinning down the stairs, and here comes Livvie!  AACK!

The new plan is to get myself on track.  I feel so much better with a hot, morning shower.  I'm ready to go, ready to meet the challenges, but until we get a bigger hot water tank I'll just have to get up and dressed and get to work.  If I don't beat the littles out of bed, then I'm in my pjs until 2 in the afternoon.  Believe me, I've scared more than one UPS man, Jehovah's Witness, and meter reader.

I'm trying to take hold of this whirlwind life rather than it spinning me 'round.  So, for now, it's showers at night, up and dressed before the children, and just keep movin'!
