Cracker jack energy spit spot spit spot! Jumping me awake Energized, eager, energy galore. I wake up to cartwheels, giggles and spins. Open one eye and catch a half pirouette jump Off the bed onto the dresser? Giggle, giggle. Cracker jack energy spit spot spit spot! A happy face shadows mine. My eyes flash open. I am looking into the eyes of two sprites. No one should be this happy in the morning. It is their M.O. They are glad to be alive! Glad I am their Mom. Giggle. Giggle. Cracker jack energy spit spot spit spot! My arms slowly rise up, and I yawn. They see my traitorous mouth begin its upward corner dance. I cannot help it! They are in my face, grinning like Cheshire Cat’s mama! No one should be this pleased to be awoken at 5:30 a.m. but I am. Because they are my world. My life, my purpose, my mission, my boys. Spit spot! Spit spot! I jump up and race for the bathroom. Two giggling boys right behind me. I have not been in the bathroom alone For four or five years. No worries.
