Today I needed a day to myself. A full day of just me time. My DVR was over 60% full. It begged me to sit and have a Grey's Anatomy Marathon. My computer told me to just not even bother turning it on today. My dishes were already clean. And the dryer has an AWESOME "wrinkle free" setting, so I could just deal with it later. However, the one thing I couldn't deal with later was the kiddos. They had expectations--food, water, an occasional diaper change. And they were awake at 0615 to let me know that they had said expectations. On Veteran's Day. The one day a year that the whole country says "Thanks guys/families for what you do!" and my kids wake up early. You're welcome.
