Early Morning Musing...

     It's quarter to 8am. I've been awake for almost two hours. This is the life I live now. . . and it gets worse. I'm enjoying a nice warm cup of coffee and watching Dr. Phil. Go ahead and judge me. I'm judging myself.
     In my defense, the only thing on in these wee hours are infomercials, the 2343489057th repeat of Keeping up with the Kardashians, Dr. Phil and the occasional movie. More often than not, the movies aren't enough to keep me awake. At least Dr. Phil is crazy enough to keep my attention. Seriously...this morning's episode is about a couple fearing their FOUR year old is gay. He wants to know why "God didn't make me a girl?" Did I mention that this mom is openly "homophobic?" She is blaming this on his watching The Little Mermaid and wanting to have long hair and wear dresses. I couldn't make this stuff up! Maybe Dr. Phil is, but I'm buying it. Geraldo is trying to be a real journalist. Sally Jesse has retired, and Maury is all baby daddy all the time. What's a girl to do?
     Not to mention that now, I just feel like it's what I should be doing. Until May, I'm a stay at home mommy and wife. I wouldn't have it any other way. I've said it before and I'll say it again. I'm an old-fashioned lady. I love staying home and raising my daughter. I have no problem thinking that my place in the house is the kitchen. Any time I can, I try to have dinner ready or cooking when my husband gets home. He works hard all day to provide for his girls, and I want to do what I can for him.
     In all honesty, this time of day is my favorite. It's quiet outside. Lucy has a breakfast bottle and we talk in the morning. Now she is just playing in her Jumperoo stopping occasionally to jabber at me and laugh. She is her happiest in the morning. Even though she kept me up until around 1:30am, I love watching and playing with her in the morning. This is the time just for the two of us. I don't worry about dishes, laundry, cooking or cleaning at this hour. That's what the day after sunrise is for. It also helps to know that naptime is coming right around the corner.

Oooooh, next up on Dr. Phil, what it's like living with bi-polar disorder. I know some people I should DVR this for.

Good morning from her Jumeroo to yours!

XOXO
