Today, we gained an extra hour. I had visions of sleeping in with a quiet house.

It didn't happen.

Because, I am a morning person. And no matter how hard I try, I will always be a morning person.

Which means my body wakes up when it is early.

No matter what.

It seems Bboo may be inheriting that trait a little. I say a little, because she can sleep in if she's really tired.

So, we decided to get up and make breakfast. The girl had bacon on her mind and just had to have it! We went to work in the kitchen cooking bacon and grits and remarking how the Smart One could sleep through a tornado!

And we put on music. Lots of it!

It started off with Cyndi Laupers's, "Girls Just Want to Have Fun" (Dad said said, "Girls Just Want to Have Bacon") and it kept going from there.

Music from my childhood…teen years…etc.

And finally, the Smart One woke up.

And joined in.

And we sang.

And danced.

And laughed.

And ate bacon.

I'm sure in the spring, we won't be so happy with the time change.

But this morning, I gained an extra hour with my children.

What did you do with yours?
