A touch of morning peace

This is my first blog. It's going to be messy, but here we go!
Well I never have been a morning person but since I've gone to dayshift at my job, I've started making a transition. I can hardly sleep past 745, either because I'm about to wet the bed or just because I'm used to getting up at 430 on the mornings that I have to work. Noone else, however, in my house gets up this early so I have a touch of morning peace. Until Mallory hears me warming up my oatmeal, then its all over! I think that may be the ONLY reason for me being excited that she's going to kindergarten in two weeks. I'm actually going to have me time, something I haven't had since before she was born, really. But I'm also going to miss her like crazy! Maybe I'll actually get something done in the house without her following me around saying something along the lines of "Stop everything you're doing and play with me!".
Yesterday we went to a friend's house with a few other ladies and their children to swim and let the kids play together for a while. She and I were together from the time she woke up until the time she went to bed but about an hour before her bedtime she came out and said to me, "You need to spend some time with me!", as if I'd just gotten home and been ignoring her completely! LOL, maybe its because she's an only child and extremely used to having my full attention, thus the title of my blog. I try to give it to her as much as possible and she knows it, so when we have company or I'm trying to help Dustin with something or do anything else at all, she kinda feels left out. Maybe kindergarten will help her learn to play on her own a little too.
Now she's up and she immediately came to me, didn't say good morning but that she wanted to play her game on the computer and for me to watch......but she's content with watching a little icarly while I attempt to finish this up. She really is a sweet thing when she wants to be!
