Perseverance

5am My alarm goes off. My mind screams Nooooooo. I get up and get dressed and get in the van for a sleepy drive across the river.
5:15am I am at Snap Fitness and don't want to be. I must do what I don't want to do. I run and run and then run some more.
6:02 Home sweet home. My husband leaves for a skate.
6:10 I hit the carpet for crunches and as a reward for all of the above I do some blogpeeking and post some comments.
6:45 I am shower bound and just about to turn the water on and I hear it. "Mommmmyyyy." That has to be some other woman's child. I try not to swear. I change my negative thoughts.
6:46 Nathan is up and tells me he wants to get out. I change his diaper and his shirt and find his blankie and water. He talks nonstop. I tell him it's still nighttime. He shakes his head no at me. Nathan lays down.
7:30 I am showered, dressed and fed.

I try to be patient, but that boy tries my patience.

haha I laughed that you told him it was still nighttime! I've done that before. It usually only works for a few minutes and he is up again.

You were a busy lady!

Yes, I hate having to tell them it's still nighttime! Once I told Nicholas "if the sun is not up, it's still nighttime." Well, when he got up, he came to tell me the sun was still not up and he should go back to sleep. *sigh*
