4:30 A.M.

For some strange reason I woke up at 4:30 this morning and couldn't go back to sleep so I decided today would be a great day to have my quiet time (before work), eat breakfast and get everything ready to go so that we could get out the door on time.

Ha! What a joke! I don't know what happened...I ate breakfast (couldn't concentrate on reading while listening to my stomach growl very loudly), then I had my quiet time (in the morning, this is a first in ages...usually it happens at night after H is in bed), got everything ready to go and we STILL left late!?!? I really don't know how that happened! Seriously, I was up 2 1/2 HOURS before we had to leave.

Not only that but as we're getting in the car, I put my coffee mug on the roof (I know what you're thinking..."never do that") and am buckling H into her seat and my mom calls. She's talking about the weather and if she'll be coming to my Tupperware party tonight and I start driving and talking until...to my dismay I hear a thump, thump on the roof....Oh NO! my coffee!!! In my favorite travel mug!!! So I tell my mom I'll call her back and I start carefully slowing down to stop at the light when the mug soars off the roof of my car and careens into another vehicle, thankfully stopping right there and not rolling into moving traffic. So I slam the car into park and run out of my car, holding my hand out so people won't start going (by this time the light has turned green) and run to my mug, now devoid of all coffee and run back to my car, jump in and start driving. I know, not safe, smart etc etc but I couldn't just leave it there, it was expensive and it really is a great mug, the coffee never spills/leaks even when shaken upside down unless you let it fly off the roof of your car. So I rescued my now, road tested mug and we were on our way.

However, despite the weird, disjointed morning we didn't arrive late I think it's because the roads were really clear even after all the snow we've had.

Wow, what a morning. I know that rising early is a godly thing and all but really, sometimes a mommy just needs her rest and it's not always for beauty, more like sanity!
