There's a series of commercials lately from a mattress company that I really like. The basic idea is that life is chaotic, noisy, busy and overwhelming, but when you lie down on their mattress everything is transformed into a peaceful, quiet, relaxing place. I wish that was true. I would be the first in line to buy that mattress. The ideal is great. The boys get up early and make a lot of noise and I'm not ready to get up, I can just stay in bed. Darius decides that waking up is better than sleeping during the night, I can check on him and then go back to bed. Presto, the noise stops, I can sleep and life would be good.
Unfortunately, life does not work that way. Sometimes I wish that it did, but then I see the smiles and receive the early morning snuggles from my boys and realize that even though the day is starting much earlier than I had hoped, I have more of the day to enjoy with them. Besides, there is always nap time to enjoy the peace and quiet.
