#Microblog Mondays - Morning Musings

Mornings are special times, aren't they? Quiet, peaceful, full of energy and optimism - heralding the beginning of  a brand new day.

When the twins came along all the peace and quiet was replaced by adventure and suspense. And if you ask why - well then that simply implies you don't have kids. The dash for the school bus is something that needs to be experienced not explained. It has very little to do with how early I wake up the kids. They can get ready in half hour flat or dawdle about taking thrice that time. Some days we are really early and then we put on music and forget about the bus and then ... yeah that same dash.

Then there are morning alarm issues. There are days I wake up before the alarm rings and lie waiting for it. Such bliss!! That lazy time before I hear it go. Or there are the times, the not-so-good-times, when I switch the alarm off with no recollection of doing so. Thank Goodness for the sun (and for my large east facing windows) that comes calling, jolting me awake.

Last week was bizarre. My phone set itself to Myanmar time (Don't ask how. These android touch phones quite have a mind of their own and tend to be temperamental). I jumped up right as it rang and after I'd wrapped up all my chores and was about to wake up the kids I realised there was a full hour to go! There I sat mourning my one hour of lost sleep. 

Don't get me wrong - I like mornings. I love them. There's just one small catch - the waking up. That kind of takes away all the fun. If only there was any other way to begin a morning than waking up!

So what's your morning like? The 'newspaper and tea' variety or the 'hurry hurry hurry' kind?
