Awoke this morning around 5:15 because sweet Jonas had a nightmare. He climbs in bed tucked in the middle between John and I. It's been a short night, Lorelei took a nap too late 5-7 p.m. and therefore was up till 1:00 a.m. YIKES! About 5 minutes after Jonas patters into our room and bed, Lorelei follows her sleeping buddy. She must have sensed he left their fancy, currently shared, sleeping spot on the playroom floor, on pallets of blankets and pillows. With little room to spare, she climbs in as well. For whatever reason she likes to sleep with her legs, draped over my chest. I now have about 5 inches of sleeping space and the cute legs and sweet toes of Lorelei in my face. Savannah in her excitement to make my Mother's Day special, wakes up John to help her make me a cup of coffee. It's now 8:15. Still very tired and wanting more sleep, and since Lorelei's still sound asleep with her legs and toes still over my chest and in my face! Coffee although love
Somedays I feel like I've done it all. To look at me, you might say "now that's an ordinary mom". Dig a little deeper and you'll find I've led a pretty interesting life, done some pretty extraordinary things, especially once I became a mother of four wonderful, extremely different children! Unique personalities and needs, all wonderful, trying and glorious at the same time!
