What's the hurry Mom?

Okay, so Jaden. She is a peach.
She is also a snail when it comes to getting out the door.
This girl takes soooo long to do anything. Follow me into this morning...

4:20am alarm clock goes off.I get up and wish it were Saturday.
I work out. Yes, I work out. 20 minutes of pain and agony that I hate every morning but am so glad I did when its all said and done.
Then I shower.
Here is where the fun begins.
I wake up Jaden around 5:00am. So, I go rub her little back that has crept into my bed as per usual and say in a soothing voice"Jaden its time wake up the sunshine."
Nothing.
So I go and put on the tea pot for my morning constitutional tea and news.
After the tea whistles I go in again."Jaden time to get up sweetie."
Still nothing. At this point I double check her nose to make sure she is still alive as she is a heavy sleeper.Shes breathing good. Good.

"WAKE UP JADEN!"
nothing.
Amazed I stand there next to my bed. Full dressed, hair in rollers, make up on. Only thing slowing me down now is a 42 pound morning sloth.
I pull the covers down. She pulls them up, rolls over and the butt is as high in the air as it can be.
I pull the covers down again and tickle her.
She did not like this. She sat straight up and in the most serious voice says to me
"Mooooom, what is the hurry?! Don't you see I am trying to sleep. I am still tired from my dreaming stories."
With that she lays back down and starts to nestle into her "cozy spot" as we call it.

Well Finally I got her up and managed to feed her, dress, her and do something that resembled a braid in her hair. Did we get out the door on time?
Nope.
When I was running to the car did she follow in haste?
Nope.Just scooting along picking flowers.(picking flowers is Jadens M.O, she is notorious for picking Flowers from any garden, any time at anyplace. Grave stones, restaurants, other peoples houses, she has no fear. She will take the flowers.)

Anyhow. I wish I could live in her mind for a while. No deadlines, no reason to rush. Just take my sweet time and pick the flowers.
