Irish Eyes are Smiling...

We made it up today...at 6am. In the dark. I actually got up before my morning child. He yelled when I turned on the light in his room. Z however, was excited. She thought it was a great idea to get up in the middle of night to go to school. I explained it was just early in the morning and we beat the sun, but she was certain it was still night. I mean, duh, it was dark outside!

I've gone from dropping my son off "illegally" early so I could break my neck to get to a 9.15 mtg on time every day to putting him back in morning daycare and working more like 730-3ish...I leave at 3 on days I have them and work slightly longer when I don't.

This means I have to go to bed at night. In Fantasy Land, where I hope to move someday, I'd sleep from 2am to 8am nightly and take a nap everyday! I know this from my wonderful vacations...Now if I could just get my shit together to move there. Anyone wanna come?
And you today was the day for the wearin' of the green, when every one's a wee bit Irish no matter the color! lol We actually are a wee bit so we do dinner with the fam every year! My Da, with my sister's help cooked up a couple fab pots of Corned Beef & Cabbage. It was SO good! There was plenty of beer, but not so much you wouldn't drive and green milk for all...And the best part of course was the company I have 13 favorite folks and they are my family!

I hope you had a wonderful & safe St Pat's! We'll go for some adult fun at the Irish Festival this weekend - Not too adult mind you, I'm taking my Dad! :)

  2. Welcome to the world of way too early risers! I never though I would get used to getting up at 4:00 AM, which thankfully has now changed to 5:00 AM with my new job. Hope the new hours works out better for you and that you get to take that nap one day!
