It makes all the difference

About once a month, our school district has a one hour delay for teacher inservice. I love those days! Today was one of those mornings. I am amazed at how that extra hour of sleep makes things run more smoothly here. We still have 65 minutes until school begins, and the kids leave 15 minutes before that. Normally at this time frame before school begins I haven't seen any of my children physically moving and I'm hollering up the stairs to make sure they are doing so. Today though, not only are they all up, but they are dressed and have already completed some of their morning chores. It's really a much nicer way to begin the morning. I can't really blame them for not being so happy/jolly/jump-out-of bed on the other mornings though. They have a mom who is most certainly NOT a morning person!
