It was quiet.
Very quiet.
It was amazing.
No little men running like banshees around the house. No talking rodents or sea sponges with snail pets on television.
I was able to check my e-mail, read a few blogs, spend some prayer time, and watch my favorite morning news station without interruption.
And honestly, even though I was up at 4:30 am? I wasn't totally exhausted throughout the day.
So this morning, I actually INTENTIONALLY set my alarm for (gasp) 4:45. Now, in the interest of complete disclosure, I didn't actually get out of bed until 5, but I still had my quiet.
I watched the sun rise (Well, I watched it get lighter, anyway. We're having some wicked summer storms.). I watched the weather forecast. I surfed the net.
Best of all? The only interruption was a certain canine member of the family who, for one brief, shining moment thought that the absence of the small humans meant that she'd get my undivided attention.
Sorry, Princess. Mommy's enjoying her bliss for a few moments.

There are those days when you just can't fall back to sleep to save your life.
Hubby and I are watchers of either channel 9 or the Fox Morning show on 32 (I don't know what your cable station might be). We want to know what is going on around here not just in NYC.
Enjoy your weekend.
Oh I so remember those days. It was one of my favorite parts; watching the sun rise and having my cup of before everyone else.
Hugs!!!
I too recently began arising between 5-6 so I can write without being asked to make breakfast, find a shoe, etc.
On another note, I loved your LIW swap items.

Five o'clock in the morning is my absolutely favorite time of the day. Lovely, peaceful. Watching the sunrise. It doesn't get any better than that.
