I wrote this the other day. And now complaining about being awake at 6:15 am seems ridiculous seeing as I’ve been woken at 4am every morning since. But hey, the sentiment is still relevant.
Morning,
Seriously?
You know, this kind of behavior is so uncalled for.
What did you think was going to happen? Did you think this would go unnoticed?
Did you think I’d just let this slide by without even mentioning it? You did?!?
Wow.
I don’t even know what to say. I don’t know if I can even look at you right now.
I’d like to point out that right now it is 8am. I have been up since 6:15am.
I’d also like to point out that by the time I managed to crawl out of bed, get to the loo and find my phone and put it on the charger, all three children had fallen back to sleep.
And I would have crawled back into bed too, only Murphy’s Law dictates that as soon as I closed my eyes they all would have been yelling for me anyway.
And let’s face it, compared to this past few weeks, 6:30 is practically a sleep in.
So I really did think I’d get maybe 10-15 minutes of quiet and then the house would resound with cries for food and sesame street.
And yet, it’s 8am. And not one of them is awake. And I’ve been cheated out of 1.5 hours sleep. Which is actually all I used to get a night when the Two were small. And broken at that.
Which means I know how valuable 1.5 hours sleep really is.
And you took it away from me, Morning.
How can you make it up to me, you ask?
I’d like to make you feel bad and say you can’t. But that’s a lie.
You can get me a coffee, do a load of laundry and suggest to Afternoon that he go easy on me.
Also, you can ensure that this never happens again.
Or you’ll be spending some time in the corner. Do you hear me young lady?
Yes, I do realize that technically you are a vague reference to the hours between 12am and 12pm.
No, I don’t care that I’m addressing you like a person, let alone a child.
Yes, I am serious right now.
No, I don’t think I can maintain this for much longer.
Get lost, Morning. You hurt my feelings. I’m telling Day on you.

Thanks Laney! I hate mornings with a passion. Especially if they start before 7am!
I share your feelings. Its 7:40am here and after giving the littlest drooly a bottle at 6:10am and attempting to put him back in bed I stayed up assuming the older drooly would wake very soon since both of them are up by 6:30am. I’ve heard murmurs from their room but alas the drooly monsters are still asleep. Shouldn’t I be as well?
Grrr, I hate it when this happens! I hope you manage to get a rest this afternoon!
But the morning is beautiful here!!! SUN, sun, sun!
That means you can take the kids outside! and blow bubbles and draw with chalk and climb trees… !
=P

I can completely relate to this and so can my long suffering husband, I was hardly a morning person before kids. Now you can multiply my hatred of mornings by a factor of one thousand. As I snuggle into my flannelete sheets trying to postpone the inevitable, my idyll is shattered by Dadabulous’ chipper voice “Time to get up Mum”. Groan. “I said its time to get up Mum”. Groan – You’re a %&^. “Yeh, Yeh, Yeh I know I’m a %&^ but its still time to get up Mum”.
One day I think I’ll catch him totally off guard by bounding out of bed before he does and saying something annoyingly cheerful like “its a lovely morning”. Alas it never happens.
Have a great morning tomorrow.

My morning is always beautiful since the sunrise will definitely give me strength to wake up early.

I’m dread when I wake up early in the morning. I can’t wake up early since I didn’t sleep early as well.
