Mornings

Yesterday afternoon I traveled out of town (really more like to the other side of the state) to visit a high school. The program lasted a couple of hours, so I stayed at my grandmother's. This morning in all of the quietness (Gran's a sleeper!) I got up and ready all by myself. (strange, huh?) I didn't want to wake her, so me and my hair dryer went to the back of the house. While drying my hair I caught a glimpse out the window - it was a beautiful morning, dew still on the ground, sun coming up, ahh! I loved it! It made me think back to before Ella Grace and Major were born, or shortly after Ella Grace was here. I used to get up some mornings and eat my cereal on the porch before heading out the door for work. So much has changed since then - they no longer make my favorite cereal and I have two kids, and I hurry out the door now!

If I drank coffee, I would have to seriously consider adjusting my morning schedule to get up and enjoy some quiet time on the front porch swing. Until then, I'll just stay and bed and sleep all I can!
