No, it is no mistake. I am up at this crazy, early hour of 6:50 a.m. Actually, I have been up since about 5:15 and officially moving around by 5:30. Merci woke to eat and once I fed her I figured I'd might as well just get up. I had to be up early this morning for a funeral that I am singing at for my sister's father-in-law. My brother-in-law's dad, Morris, pasted away earlier this week and I was honored when my sister called to see if I would sing at his memorial/funeral. I needed to be up by 6:00 a.m. , when Mike gets up, in order to actually have myself and the little ones up and ready to go by no later than 8:45. I have to stop and pick up my mom before being at the church at 9:30 to practice. My sister and I haven't had the chance to work on any of the songs until this morning. I am sure it will all come together. She said she thinks she could do harmony, but would not be able to do the singing alone. She is also playing a piano patriotic tribute because Morris was a WWII veteran. There is also going to be a Color Guard full military salute. I really did not no Morris, we only met a few times. But if he was anything like his son, he had to be an amazing man. My brother-in-law Mark is a one of a kind man. My sister snagged a great one with him. I only hope that my voice stays with it long enough to make it through this morning. I've been fighting this darn cold since yesterday morning. At least I feel a little better than last night.
I have to take both kids with me, so it might be interesting. My sister and brother-in-law have no problem with them being there. My mom is going to take Merci for me and I'm going to see if my dad will take Camden. I packed a backpack full of fun stuff for him to keep him busy. This is the first time I've had to take either of them to anything of this sort. I am praying that everything will just come together and Morris will be honored the way that he deserves.
Well, I should get myself together before I have to get the little ones up and ready. TTFN

Beth, lemme tell ya, dear--getting up early is -so- worth it. And after a week or so of forcing yourself to do it, it's easy.
If I get up before 6 every day, I have a few good hours to do everything I can't do with toddler in tow. Plus I have time to sit and do what makes me feel the best: write. Then, by the time mein kidlet is up and runnin' (or trying to run and catching herself before she falls), I can focus on her, and read and play with 'er, which makes me feel like a good mom. Which leads to peace all around.
Seriously, stick with getting up early. It's rewarding. And hug your kids for me!
