Night Terror

It is 2:00 in the morning and Gabe is awake and terrorizing everyone.

His favorite move in this situation is jumping on Cora's bed and saying "I'm jumping on my sister" over and over.  I don't know if it is her gentle nature, or if she is too tired to do anything about it, but she never lashes out at him for this.

I love the early morning.  Waking up at this time in the morning refreshed and ready to take on the day feels like a gift.  It feels like you are cheating time.  Everyone else is asleep and I am awake with these hours that I can use however I want.  The difference between Gabe and me is that I prefer solitude.

Of course, there is always a price.  Waking up at this time makes for a long day.  

Currently listening to: The Kleptones - 24 hours

for some reason, this reminds me of your long-ago post about walking Olive and seeing all the TV lights in the windows...
