Guess how I woke up this morning?  I fell out. of. bed. No joke, I woke up as I hit the floor.  Who am I?  A three year old?  Fortunately our comforter is really thick and I was so wrapped up in it, my body was cushioned enough.  No injuries to speak of, but not exactly the best way to start the day.  Oats, on the other hand, are a perfect way to start the day.
