nothing good happens after 10 at night

My mom always said nothing good happened after 10:30pm….

but sometimes moms are wrong.

For example.

I’m an especially good mom at night.

When the kids are sleeping, I am SO patient and full of love and wisdom and gentleness, it even blows me away!!!

Sometimes I even go into their rooms and whisper my insights and love just so they aren’t missing out.
Sure they’re asleep still, but I know somehow it gets in their hearts.

I’m also an incredible housecleaner, writer, organizer, friend, wife…you name at….I can be it.
At night.

But it’s very specific time frame for me.
When I say night, I don’t mean when the sun goes down.
I don’t mean when the kids go down either.
{which some judgingly lovingly joke is basically the same time}


I mean the later it gets, 10:30pm and on, the happier, and wiser, and funnier, and more charming I become.
I can get deep and meaningful, or I can laugh and find the humor…
I send sweet texts, I write thoughtful emails, and a love note to my husband flows effortlessly.

It’s at that time when suddenly I look at everything through rose colored glasses.
OR MAYBE….
It’s at that time that I am actually seeing things for how they truly are.

Because things in my life really ARE rosy.
{why yes, I AM writing this at night}

So, I have from basically around 10:15 until whenever I decide to go to bed to fully enjoy my day.

The problem with this, is that when I’m up and ready to be the Summer I was meant to be….the world is asleep.

So you see, for me, all the BEST things happen after 10:30 night.  
The REAL truth, is that nothing GOOD happens before 10:30 in the morning.  
{my mom had it all confused.}

I don’t care what kind of sale, chocolate, or amount of money you have for me.
I just CANNOT smile before 10.

….this may be why i don’t have many friends at taylor or chloe’s school….
it’s all coming together for me now.
huh.
It’s also why Jimmy and I canNOT talk to each other at all before he goes to work.  
It’s how we keep the marriage together.
{side note: we also choose not to talk when we’re hungry.  this also goes a long way towards a lasting marriage as well.}
It’s this lesson I am trying to teach my kids….
the kids who wake up before 6 am every morning…

“Kids, that saying about the early bird? NOT TRUE!  NOTHING GOOD HAPPENS BEFORE 10 AM, especially in this house!!!!”
They haven’t quite picked up on that lesson yet.
So, if you want to truly know me…and love me….
Hang out with me after 10.
PM.
{or just keep reading my blog, because most of its written by night Summer anyway.}
