Until today I didn’t realize just how much my medication helps me. You see for the past few months that I have been going without it I haven’t slept well and mornings were unbearable for me. This morning amazingly I woke up before my kids and I felt pretty good, not great but good. Apparently the kids did wake up before me but only briefly because when I got up they were sound asleep once again. So I took advantage of the quiet. I made my coffee, and sat reading the news for the day. I had a whole hour that was just me and the dog and it was great. I forgot how much I enjoyed those moments between when I start my day and starting my children’s days that were about absolutely nothing.
Of course it didn’t last nearly long enough but whattayagonnado? The kids woke up and were ready and rarin’ to go. They immediately asked for “Joos” and “seweal” and “nana”. Which I happily provided for them, after I got my hugs as payment. All in all it has been a very good morning. In fact it has been so good that until a few moments ago I didn’t notice that my hands are rather stiff and kind of hurting. And good enough that I have no problems with this kid getting more cereal and watching a movie. I’m wondering to myself what kind of antics that these guys are going to throw at me today. K, he gave me the sad eyes I really should get him some more cereal.
