Not ready to start the day

It is Tuesday and I am not ready to start the day. I have only 20 glorious minutes left before the whole house awakes and the day begins. 6:45 the alarm will go off to wake dd for school. Dh should be walking in the door any minute. The dog will be barking. The baby will wake. And my quiet time will be done. I woke up today at 5 and have sat on my computer with a cup of coffee and toast catching up. I have enjoyed every delicious minute of it. But the day must start. I must get things done. Do the laundry, start a diet, get dd showered and dressed, clean the kitchen, organize the office, get dinner ready for tonight. Ah, for just 5 more minutes alone in the dark..........

OOOOhhhh Rae...I remember those dearly cherished Quiet moments! Those first stirrings are unsettling, even annoying...once the silence is broken and you get involved in your day it seems to flow better, as I recall.

Thanks Bree. It was a good day. I got a ton accomplished. Today not so much but that is ok. DH is getting plenty done. Early morning time on the computer was something I missed dearly the year I didn't have internet at home. Those times are so rejuvinating.
