Morning at Chez Fisher

6:00 - Deacon awake, demanding food, now!
6:30 - Deacon put back down while I cross fingers for just a little more snoozing, pleasebabyplease.
6:31 - 6:50 - definitively not-sleeping,continuous grunting heard over the monitor. Gah. Well maybe if I just ignore it...
6:59 - all is quiet. Hurrah! Mama is sooo ready to finally get some snoozin' going on.
7:00 - Fish's alarm goes off. Double gah.
7:01 - 7:14 - I am drifting off, finally. Mmmmm...It is delightful.
7:15 - Sam is suddenly awake and over the monitor going: "Mommy? Mommy?...Mommy. Mo-o-ommy!"
7:16 - I stumble into her room. She hops out of bed, on an urgent mission. There is, after all a monkey puzzle out there that is demanding to be put together, the one we told her last night there wasn't enough time to do before bed. So hello? Morning, which means time is here! And we must do it right now, before time goes away again!
7:18 - I sneak in making a cup of coffee on my way to retrieve said puzzle from the closet.
7:19 - 7:24 - We put together the puzzle on the floor and I sip my coffee, trying to wake up, casting longing looks towards the couch. Soon, maybe I'll sit for a spell, after this is done...then, suddenly:
7:25 - From Deacon's room: Waaaaah.

Such are mornings here. But, really, as bleary-eyed as I am, I do cherish the these moments of (slight) chaos being a family of four brings!
