Ridiculously Early Day

Woke at 4am today, 30 minutes before everyone else is getting up. I've got my Keurig going because Im not a morning person at my usual 8am wake time, forget this early.

Why are we getting up so early? All because of the work oppurtunity that Stephen has, that is pushing back our vacation. Being awake right now, has me wishing more than ever we were leaving today for said vacation! Getting away from day to day life for a while will be a very welcome break. We are getting up because we have to take Daddy all the way to Plano, from midcities area of Fort Worth. Yep, long drive and we have to stop and pick up a couple of his associates along the way. The kids and I have our playgroup Easter party today which is why we have to take him in the first place. A HUGE  downfall to the many perks of having one vehicle. The party is at a friend's house in Dallas so we wont be travelling far once we drop him off, so getting up is the hardest part for sure.

Im dreading waking the kids right now. I dont think they have been up at this time since they were each newborns, ha! I was so excited when they learned to sleep past it. I just hope waking them at this time today doesnt somehow mess up their normal schedule..I would go crazy if they decided to start waking at this time everyday! Im kinda worried that by the party they will be ready to go back to sleep, since its not that uncommon for them to sleep til then at home! They ususally wake at 8 on the days Stephen works, because they hear him up getting ready and leaving. However, on the days that he is off and continues sleeping, they usually do as well. We are just not an early rising household. When they start school in a few years, should we choose public school, it gonna be a big change. A necessary one obviously and we will cope but I know it wont be easy. It was never easy on me when I went to school. I always wished school was offered in shifts. I function so much better in the afternoon/evening time frame.

So that's what our day looks like. Drop off Daddy, attend party, hang out until he gets off at 4, pick up him and associates, drop them off, come home, eat a quick dinner, then hopefully early to bed. I really hope they are ready for bed when we get home! I know Im gonna be low functioning by then!
On the plus side, the Easter party should be tons of fun!
