Early

This morning - Saturday, I should point out - Charlie decided to wake up at 6:30a. He usually wakes up at 8. I went into his room and told him it was too early to wake up and then dragged out this little mat I keep in his closet, spread it out on the floor, and tried to go back to sleep. He wouldn't bite. So finally at 7, I took him out of the crib and we headed downstairs.

I was grumpy. I hate getting up in the morning anyway, but having to wake up before 7 on a Saturday really pisses me off. I know that this is the norm for most parents, but most parents don't work until 12:30 at night. So there.

This was a bad start to the day. But then, it turned around. Jason came downstairs and forced me back to bed. It didn't take much arm twisting. After I fell asleep 3.42 seconds later, he started laundry, did the dishes from the night before, picked up the downstairs and entertained Charlie while he did it. Then at 9, he woke me up and we switched.

I have a great husband. He's sleeping right now. He told me to wake him up at 10. It's 10:11a. I think I'll give him the luxury of waking up naturally. This could have been a Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day. Instead, thanks to Jase, it's a Wonderful, Delightful, No Bad, Very Good Day. YAY!
