My girl Jill, and I watched the sun rise this morning. Why do I have the feeling that this girl will see more sunrises than the others in her lifetime, and not all from being up bright and early....
Anyway, we got up early because she had been in my bed since 5, and I had to get up to get ready to meet the boys at Ian's swim meet. We talked, and talked, about all kinds of trivial things. She even turned off the TV so I could hear her talk "better", hey it was her show, how can I argue with that?
These kids are so much more fun when I get to focus on them, and their needs, without juggling the others. I think I sometimes forget what I have to work with is not the norm. Not everyone fixes breakfast with 5 screaming little people in the kitchen with them. I relish the peace of what most people probably think is a "normal" day. Here it only happens in stolen moments like this one, but I'll take what I can get.
