It seems that each morning I wake up praying, "God, PLEASE let the girls sleep 5 more minutes!" I know that once the day begins it doesn't stop until around 10 or 11 when I get back in bed. For two parents who love their sleep our girls somehow missed that gene. The time change has them waking earlier and earlier. This morning was no different. Scott left to go to a men's retreat at church and he brought Myah to me on his way out the door. To my surprise she was in a pretty cuddly mood. Madeline, Myah and I laid on the bed and cuddled and watched Mickey Mouse (thankfully it was a new one that I hadn't seen before) =) We had a "moment" together that built love. Madeline and I made a "Myah" sandwich. Mickey was about thanksgiving and giving away the extra food to the big giant that lives in the clouds. My point - you know your selfish when you get convicted watching Mickey. =) It was a wonderful moment with my girls that I will always treasure. Instead of wanting more sleep I realize I should be creating more moments that connect our family together. A good friend of mine told me yesterday that she's doing everything she can to build the relationship between her son and her daughter because she realizes that some day she won't be there and they need each other. She's even talked to them about it. Hopefully I can do the same with Madeline and Myah's relationship and create moments for them to grow as sisters. One day this past week the girls woke so early that we got to have breakfast with Scott before he left for work. It was nice lingering at the table, knowing what business the day had in store for us. Perhaps I should bite the bullet and get up early! Who ever remembers sleeping in? Who's about to die and says, "Man I wish I would have slept more!"?
