Early In The Morning
Posted By jayna on March 9, 2010
Early each morning, as the sun peeks over the ridges in our backyard, she creeps around the my side of the bed. Her tiny, little hand reaches up and touches my cheek. Or my side. Or my butt. Whatever is sticking the most out of the covers is fair game. She knows the rules and manages to wait patiently until I blearily squint at her, waiting for the one phrase I always hear.
“I’m hungry.”
Without her 6am bowl of “snack”, the world absolutely cannot be right. She sits quietly in her room, in her special chair, and watches the world wake up outside her window.
And then, with a full belly and freezing feet, she climbs back in bed with me and fidgets and wriggles and pokes and squirms, all in the name of early morning cuddles.
I tell her to shush, and I beg her to keep still. But really, my day just doesn’t begin right without being poked in the stomach with an ice cold toddler foot.
The giggles and the cuddles. That’s what we’ll remember in ten years. Not the time on the clock.
This Blog Will Spontaneously Combust In . . .

Well, not actually combust, but somewhere along the way there was a big bang and lots of things got changed and a few things were broken.
In the end, I believe the RSS feed suffered the most damage. So, if you’re reading this in a feed reader, kindly click on over to the actual site and resubscribe. I promise to make it worth your while in the future. Otherwise, this may very well be the last post you get from me in your reader.
I think.
I am so terribly confused about the matter.
It’s not that hard to do though.
I’ve been so buried under the mountainous tasks of moving, unpacking, settling, furnishing, orientating, exploring, preschool-finding, pediatrician-meeting, fever-reducing, strep-throat-battling and all out fatigue-chasing, that I haven’t been recording a single interesting sentence at the end of most days. And then, I got the bright idea to move the blog. Twice.
Neither one was a shining moment.
But, with many thanks to Cynthia at Nap Warden Designs for helping me limp through the second move, we’re back on track. I have 2 weeks worth of Project 365 photos to upload, heaps to share about the house, and a metric ton of observations about the new surroundings.
We’re finally healthy and living in a clean, box free house. The sun is shining and the snow is melting. The buds are sprouting and the kids aren’t tantruming.
Onwards!
Lazy Sunday: The Medicated Version
Posted By jayna on February 28, 2010
One trip to Urgent Care, three 101-102+ fevers, eight hundred and sixty seven doses of medicine, six sappy kids movies, and one doting husband.
What a lovely weekend.
