Good Morning

This week I have been at my sister's house staying with her kids while her and her husband take one last summer getaway.

Last night my niece went to lay Davis down in his travel crib. It was late and he was tired. She turned on the radio too because it was storming. Lightning, thunder, hard rain, the works. I went up to check on him after about twenty minutes or so. I walked in and he looked up. I walked over to him and he looked and me and said, "Good morning." I laid him back down and walked out of the room.

I went back up a few minutes later and he saw me, not yet asleep. "Good morning." This time I let him come back downstairs with me and hang out for a while.

This morning he woke up. The crib is right by the bed in my sister's room where I have been sleeping. I pick him up and bring him to snuggle in bed with me for a bit.

He puts his little hands on my face. Looks at me and says, "Good morning."

Maybe my boy is trying to tell me something. Every day is a new day. A new day to look forward too. With good in it. Hope. Peace. Love.

Yes indeed son, it is a good morning.

And Just Like That.....

I made the fatal mistake of reading reviews and articles before watching a single episode of the show.  I knew full well I would watch every episode regardless.  I read anyway.  Spoilers? Not bothered.   Let me give some back story here.   At 17/18 my dream had been to go to a big city (Chicago was my thinking at the time), get my degree in journalism/editing/publishing and go work at a big time magazine.  Keep in mind we are talking about the mid 90's here so the idea that magazines would cease to be relevant was not even on my radar.  I had been editor of my high school yearbook and unbeknownst to me at the time, we were actually doing the yearbook by coding and would get printouts hoping we had coded copy correctly.  I just typed the copy I was supposed to type with the weird little codes that had been given to me on a piece of paper.  I would later discover this was actually HTML code we were doing.  Who knew?  This fu...

Why Choose It?

Judy posted a comment about being jealous at two weekends away from the kids. About how she figured it would be a long time before she got that chance. I have to admit, I thought better her than me to have the new baby. After our two weekends away and Mark joking that it was his ploy to convince me to not have anymore, I have to say.....I think it worked. After thinking about it and being able to get away so easily because the kids are bigger, I could not help but think, why go back and do it all again? If you had a choice between going out of town for the weekend or being stuck, tied down to a newborn who was feeding from your breasts every two hours and waking every three ,which would you choose? To which one might say why ever have kids at all.....fine. I have TWO. I have done it TWICE. Not only that, but for anyone who cares about it, I have one of each. One is almost seven, the other almost three. Granted Davis is not potty trained yet, but he does change his own diaper sometimes...
