G.T.
I've never had to live by an "alarm clock" to wake me up, so when I arise at 5am to start a new day and everyone else in the house is still sleeping soundly, that is my favorite time. It's been that way for almost my entire life.
Having my coffee, reading the paper and then hearing the stirring of the kids or the hubby are fond memories :)
Now it's just me and the ol' man.... I still get up early but dont get the pitter patter of little feet or the "I'm awake and need to escape from my crib noises" anymore.... but's its still my favorite part of the day and it slips by so quickly! Now it's time to go get ready for work, dangit~ :)
