Up Before The Kids

You would think that with having children, they would be the ones to wake you up bright and early each morning.  In my household, I am woken up each and every morning by our puppy.  Can you call her a puppy anymore?  She is almost a year...  


We got her in September and since then my wake up call has been prior to 6:30 most mornings.  Today it was 5:48am.  Seeing how there are two adults in the house, you would think that we would take turns getting up?  Nope!  I am the one that is given the wonderful opportunity of waking with her each morning. 


Frustrating?  YES!  I am exhausted!  Time for a nap? NEVER!  Having a household of 5 (myself included) and a dog makes for a busy life.  Working full time on top of that makes it even busier.  


So why am I starting a blog?  I need a vacation! Vacations require time off, cooperation of all involved, money (and lots with a family of 5) and a dog sitter.  So, this is my vacation, my Island away from home.  The place that I can come to tell about the things that I love or hate.  The place that I am hoping other moms can relate to.  This is my Island. I hope that you enjoy or can in someway get a laugh or two out of my hectic life, because sometimes, I need to.


Welcome to my Island, your island, Mom's Island.
