Shhhhh

I have been awake since 3:15 AM.  Lucy got up with a bad dream, the cat needed to snuggle, and I was scheduled for an airport run at 4:15 AM anyway, so I just stayed up.  I am done with the driving part of the morning, and now I am up, up, up.  It is quiet here.  I get to enjoy the toy free floor that I make every night.  Usually, before I have a chance to gaze upon it's glory in the morning there are mismatched kid socks strewn here and there along with the odd stuffed animal and on the bad days, food.  Look at her there, so shiny, so floory.  Oh so sock free!

I know a few mothers of older, and fully grown kids that still wake up at the crack of dawn to enjoy a quiet morning.  I always thought they were nuts, but this is nice.  If I put on my shoes and some warm things, I could get in some exercise before anyone noticed....
