Morning Bliss…….

Woke up automatically and turned off my alarm before it rang.  15 minutes to myself before time to wake everyone up. Go to the bathroom. Take the bread out of the freezer. Pop two slices into the toaster. Make a big pitcher of hot sweet tea.  Pour one glass for myself and one for my 16 year old.  Go place it by her bed and listen to her mumble, “five more minutes….”. Go with my tea to my youngest son’s room.  Sit and gently coax him awake while enjoying my tea. Bring him into the kitchen for his breakfast and then begin to work – breakfast for five – each something different.  Five sandwiches and fruit.  Go wake up the middle son.  Get his breakfast ready.  Warmly wish each child a good day as they leave the apartment….until finally….now……quite.   Sitting at the computer with my cup of coffee and enjoying …..all of this.
