Too Early.

Tuesday, November 3rd, 2009

Whoever came up with Daylight Saving Time beginning and/or this ending DID NOT have children! Babies waking up at 6 am is not very nice. Not the best time to have to hit the ground running. At least this morning I woke up and got my teeth brushed before the loud crying and the jabbering started. I feel very sorry for Mama’s whose babies were already up at 6 and now up at 5. We’re in for some LONG days.
On the other hand we have a beautiful sunrise this morning and we may get to eat breakfast as a family, migas anyone? And hey, I may take that morning walk after all since I have an extra hour to do morning housework!

Guilty Pleasures.

Sometimes i can’t wait until Clara needs a bottle so I can sit down and look at my computer or read a magazine without feeling guilty about not doing the 43 other things I should be getting done. And as you can see I’m getting pretty good at typing with one hand, another perk!

In the kitchen with Lily.

Even though I’ve almost broken my neck or twisted an ankle 15 times I love to look down while I’m cooking and see Lily stringing everything out of the cabinets and playing happily at my feet. I’ll really miss her when she finds more important things to do while I get supper ready. Of course then it will be Clara sitting there I suppose!

Gross.

You know it’s time to sweep the floor when you find Lily putting crumbs from supper last night down into the nipple of Clara’s pacifier. At least it’s keeping her quiet.
