One Early Morning

Today, my life changed forever. Today i had to become a morning person. Up at 4:50, making breakfast and lunch and then she was out the door at 5:30. SEMINARY!!

The one thing i was looking forward to was the quiet 45 minutes before i had to pickup the carpool of kids and take them to school. And there it was, the perfect workout slot waiting with wide open arms in a sleeping quiet house.

So, i put on the DVD, got my mat, DIDN'T EVEN TURN ON THE SOUND, put in my earphones and 6 minutes later, penny started crying!! i quiet her down, and 2 minutes later Simon wakes up, and then penny starts crying again! This is at 5:50 AM. UGH! i was so mad. so i took Penny in with Doug, changed Simon's diaper and put him back in his dark room so he would hopefully fall back to sleep. well, he didn't. so I and let him cry and then talk to himself and then cry and then talk himself for the next 20 min while i finished my dang workout.

But other than THAT, today went just fine.

A few gems from the weekend:

Sophie's friend from Church told us that when she first met Doug she thought he looked like the human version of Shrek!

HAhahahahahah! That's the greatest thing i've ever heard.

Also, Simon spoke his first movie quote. You know that scene in ELF when Buddy belches for, like, a full 60 seconds and then says, "did you hear that?"

well, a few moments later i hear simon from his carseat...

"baaaaaaaaaaaaaa. di you hea dat?"

p.s. dont ask me why we were watching elf in august. it has something to do with my mismatched, lost, scratched DVD disorder. and really, it's just too painful to talk about.
