Morning peace...

I have been trying to get up with Jesse in the mornings. He gets up between 5 and 5:30. I can talk to him for a bit and see him off. A few times I went back to bed for an hour, but felt terrible getting up later. It is so quiet and peaceful before anyone gets up. Of course, the dog and 2 cats bug me, but if I can get them fed and the dog out to potty, things settle down. I can eat a leisurely breakfast, write on my blog, pray or meditate, read etc. Once 7am hits, it is full blown chaos getting everyone going. I am enjoying that hour to myself. Soon I will have a newborn to tend to and things will be different but I will enjoy that new dynamic, too.
