Ninja Mom

4:58 a.m. - I wake up and realize my cell phone (with a 5:00 a.m. alarm scheduled) is not by my bed. I must have left it in Lily's room last night when I was rocking her to sleep! I devise a frantic Mission: Impossible-style undertaking to get the phone before the alarm goes off. Considered entering the room in a silent ninja summersault just to jazz things up a bit, but was worried about red criss-crossing lasers (probably won't be there) and setting off a loud, high-pitched screeching alarm (highly likely to be there). Initial sweep of the room came up empty. Did another frantic search. Still nothing. Left the room, dejected. Alarm started going off, phone was found inside my own pillowcase. (WTH?) Mission: Successful Enough.
