waking up

Back to routine, early days and early nights.

It's a bit of a relief the holidays are over. The kids were sleeping later than us (past midnight) but who's in the mood to police them?

Not us, for sure.

The girls in the morning, however, are two inert logs. They're not quite back into the grind yet.

I clap very loudly into their ears and rattle them up bodily, but it takes a long time and by the time they crack open an eye, I'm tired already.
