Well, there's a bunch of these videos up on youtube about what makes people get out of bed every day.
Hey, I bitch and I moan and I whine because my little daughter (3) Sausage often comes in at six and yanks open my eyes and says, "Mummy, it's morning time!"
And I try to stop saying "FFFFFFUUUUUUCKKKK," and instead I say, "Yeah, isn't that great?"
And sometimes I get her into bed with me and we manage to nap for a quarter of an hour and sometimes I force myself to get up. But I can honestly say that she and her sister Scarlett are what get me up in the morning, and more than that, they are my reason for living. And although I always complain about them, I always do, I sometimes think, what would my life be without those kids? Without their smiles? Without their pictures that they draw for me and bring home from school:
Well, the answer is, life would be quieter, less chaotic, sure, but it would also be emptier.
Hey, I might act like a hard bitch, but underneath it all I'm soft like a marshmallow. And I might not always show it, but you kids are my first, my last, my everything, my past, my future, the greatest things that ever happened to me and the things I love the best.
Why do you wake up every day?

you may be soft like a marshmallow underneath, i believe it.
however don't let N know of she might take a bite, knowing her :)
I tend to wake up in the morning because I have purring in stereo followed by wet noses nudging my face, rough tongues licking away and paws prodding me. So I guess I sound almost as sad as the guy with the dog!
The alternative answer would be that I get up to go and earn beer tokens, but that would make me sounds like an alkie.
I was waiting for the comments link to show up so I could respond right away. That is such a sweet post, Emma! I can only guess how that must feel....I know I love going in to work because I'll have lots of little smiley faces greeting me each morning! Oh well...snotty too...but that comes with the territory.. ;0)

I get up for the coffee. Heh.
Beautiful post, Emma.
What ^she^ said, on both counts.
Certainly not to read this soppy bollox.
Is there a bucket anywhere?
kira...if she knew i was marshmallow inside she would tear me limb from limb to get her teeth into it.
midnight....sounds like quite a nice way to wake up, at least not that abrupt as a kid pulling your eyelids open.
dilnavaz....must be fun to go to work and have lots of smiley faces greeting you.
oh the joys/fussy bitch...i agree, I am not human until I have had at least two cups.
lambent...oh we all have our soppy moments, even you, you wrote once about some stuffed penguin you have had for years that you are fond of.
Such a sweet post, emma!
I really do hate getting up in the morning. Really, really, truly hate it. But like you, it's the kids. And I get up happy for/because of them, too.
You can't compare children to a stuffed penguin.
My penguin has feelings.

Ha! I knew you had a heart!
