Ah the bliss!

As I woke this morning I laid there to determine if my awake status was due to a child's voice heard in my subconscious or the remarkable feat of waking up on my own. It was to my elation the latter. I hurried and put on a robe, checked both bedrooms to find still sleeping girls, and scurried downstairs to get a cup of coffee. I got to read the paper uninterrupted (I read fast and skipped the sports section) and am now checking email and logging in to write about this historic occasion. I feel like I can do anything now that I've had a wopping 30 minutes to myself.
