woke up, it was a chelsea morning

Warm, and comfortable - I woke up to two very cuddly and sleepy little girls next to me. Emma must have taken Sophie out of her bed, and led her into the safety of my bedroom. She must have sensed I needed the bodies next to mine - because I couldn't have been happier to awake to that :) I'm such a lucky mum - despite the tuffs, and the flack, and the fits... they are smart, intuitive, beautiful, genuine, and benevolent little girls. I had very little trouble getting out of bed too! Which was amazing to me because I didn't fall asleep until 3 am *ugh*! I figured 7:30 would kick my ass, but I only laid in bed for an extra 20 minutes this morning. This is, in my opinion, a record as of late. They appreciated it I think - because so far, no fighting (except for Emma's defiance during breakfast..) and they even cleaned up all the books without hesitation. I think I can force the exhaustion on myself if it means more cooperation, and understanding. It's beautiful outside today (+1 degrees) so we are going sledding, regardless of the walk over! It'll be worth it once we're there :) and Emma adores it! It'll be our first "family" day in awhile, which I am giddy like a 12-year-old-girl-with-a-crush about it. It hits me in the gut sometimes - how happy I can be, and even if there is turbulance and arguments... I'm still excited to see him. I'm going dancing tonight as well, which only adds to be positive attitude about this day. It's been a great start in the Watson household this Saturday morning, heres to the rest of the day going just as well :) Cheers!
