Early Wake Up Call

Addison was up and ready to go at 5:55AM this morning. Shall I repeat? 5 minutes before 6:00 in the morning. By ready to go, I mean running around at 100 mph with her volume dialed up to notch 10!! Holy Cow. Bob and I take turns on the weekend with "sleeping in." Today was his day to sleep. Sometimes I am okay when she wakes up so early. Between the two girls, I sleep in approximately 2 hour intervals throughout the night anyway, so what difference does it make.

This morning, however, I did not handle it very well. I laid on the couch for about two hour. "Mommy, eat!" she'd say with such pride and excitement over the "pizza" she cooked for me in her kitchen. I'd reply, "Shh. Sleep time. No eat." Probably in a very grumpy tone.

Now, after I sit in the quiet after putting her to bed and picking up all of her toys, I feel so angry at myself for being grumpy to her. She gets so excited to wake up and see us and her toys. She doesn't remember that Mommy was grumpy when she was up so early. UGH! Why couldn't I just show her the same excitement?? I should just hide the fact that I'm completely exhausted and extremely jealous of the rest of the sleeping world. I should just give her one million kisses and tell her "good morning" and play with her toys....instead of waiting 2 hours until I'm ready to wake up. I'd like a re-do of this morning.
