Each morning, I wake the girls up while our favorite radio station
plays the "Morning Drive" show, which we enjoy. The girls are
grumpy in the morning (I wonder where they get it?) so I try to keep
things light. They have a cheesy Friday song that we all like
singing, so I started dancing and singing like a fool to wake Natalie
up. She started giggling, so the grumpy act was over. That
reminded me of something:
When I was a kid, we slept upstairs in the house that Mom and Dad still
live in. Sometimes, Mom would stand at the bottom of the stairs
and play her guitar and sing...loudly. My first thoughts were
pure evil, so I won't share them here. I couldn't belive she'd
wake me up in such a RUDE fashion!
Know what, though? It worked. As grumpy as I'd get at her
nonsense back then, I found myself disco dancing and shaking my butt all over the
room at 6 am this morning (25 years later) to get Natalie moving. Yup, I've become my
mother...I wouldn't have it any other way.

I too have been stealing some of my mom's best ideas. I figure, if it worked on me it's got to work on her and most of the time it does.

my mother used to stand at the bottom of the stairs and sing.
"good morning Mary Sunshine" to wake us up in the mornings. I still hate that song.. LOL
