Good Morning!

Here's how the first five minutes of my day went:

Anna: Wake up, Mama! It's not night outside! The sun is out the window! I want pancakes! Get OUT OF BED! Please.
Me: Wordlessly, stumbling to the bathroom to take care of business (I had to go pee).
Anna: Following me into the bathroom, thrusting her little hands right in my face, so close that I can't see anything!
Look! I got two beautifuls out of my box! These are my necklaces (on her wrists, and they are ponytail holders)! This one is bright blue and this one is light blue. This one has the Princess, not my Belle, but Cinda-rell-rell? She has yellow hair like me. I like yellow. You have yellow hair here, but it turns brown (scrunching her face up at my clearly inferior two-toned hair) here. And this other necklace is light blue and it has a little star on it. Seeeeee?????
Me: Putting my clothing on.
Anna: You got bigger! You got bigger?
Me: (Grumpily, because I just weighed myself, and I did NOT, in fact, get bigger!) WHAT??
Anna: See, those underpants, are too little for you Mama. You got bigger.
Me: (Still grumpy, but a little humored) No, honey, these are just a different style than what Mama normally wears (they are just cut very skimpy and I am sure they do make me appear to her that I grew out of my underpants overnight).
Anna: (Following me out to the kitchen, where I stumble around and try to make coffee without putting water in the machine) Let me think. Hmmmm. What I want for bedtime snack (she still calls breakfast bedtime snack!)? I think I want pancakes.
Me: Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. (I did not really growl, but that's how I felt. I am NOT a morning person, unlike Anna! I do not want to be talked to or have someone request complicated breakfast dishes when I first wake up! Jonathan and I are equally grumpy and withdrawn in the morning. Therefore, we get along much better!)

That is how all three of my kids are in the morning. It is so irritating, because I do not like to talk until I have at least eaten breakfast.
