It is an icy cold day today and the crisp scent of impending snow is in the air. I love mornings like this. I woke up with my hubby at 5:00 this morning. Wow. Early, but my sweet son, E, slept all night (yes!) so I was well rested. After surveying the damage that my "Greasy Mess" had caused the kitchen last night, I went about my morning routine of thoroughly enjoying a cup of super sweet coffee, letting dogs in and out, and playing challenging, yet time-waisting brain games until my little guy woke up pouting.
My morning cuddle time with E is one of the best times of the day. He is usually very sweet and loving and it makes me forget sleepless nights and evening tantrums. Ah, the joys of toddlerhood. Then I talked to my mom for a while, like I do every morning and a few times during the day. We both stay at home with toddlers each day, so it is nice for both of us to have some adult conversation periodically. The crazy thing is that most of our dialog is concerning the kids in our lives. Ha!
Now here I am, the boy has been changed, apple juiced, and fed. Now he is learning baby signs with Baby Einstein while I share my morning with you!I mentioned "Greasy Mess" earlier. If you are not familiar with my cooking I will explain. Greasy mess is a term my wonderful mother-in-law and husband use to discribe the cooking process and aftermath of homemade chicken-fried steak with mashed potatoes and gravy. My kitchen truely becomes a "greasy mess." Oh but it is well worth it! We crave greasy mess! Just not the clean-up. *wink*
Well, my friends, I am off to get busy on this house. I am certainly no tidy Tammy but there is always work to do, kitchens to clean, babies to entertain.
Enjoy your day!
