The Sun Is Shining

     The kids are all awake. We are watching PBS in near silence. It is interrupted only by Gunnar's excited jumps in his exersaucer. Some mornings, I feel like my life looks like a PBS program. The days where everyone wakes up happy, the sun is shining and the day looks like an adventure waiting to unfold. Other days, not so much! Too many mornings do we all wake up cranky. It starts with the girls screaming at each other for taking away a toy. Then Gunnar is having a fit because he woke up and is hungry NOW. All of this leads to an extremely unpleasant mommy. When the day starts off bad, it usually goes awry the entire day. Well, at least until nap time, when mommy gets to recharge for a bit.

     Today, the sun is shining.
