Kiss My Knits!

Got up at 6 with the kiddo. She always wants to get up earlier than that, but we have a rule that we stay in our rooms until 6. I used the extra time to make buttermilk blueberry pancakes, link sausages, and also some boiled eggs as a snack later in the day. Helped my daughter to keep her poor tortured Sims alive for a while. She bought them parrots (not available in Sims 2) and the birds made so much noise that the poor Sims couldn’t even pass out on the lawn in peace.

I let the hubby sleep in, and he came into the kitchen at a hair after 7, clearly ticked off that we were running late. After he took a shower, he had woken up enough to come out of “hibernating bear” mode and gave me a hug and thanked me for the extra time and the food. He is going for a degree online and couldn’t concentrate enough to finish up his work last night. He’s been very tired, and really needed the extra 45 minutes or so of sleep.

We took our daughter to school (she was five minutes late) and the hubby dropped me off outside the house and went on to work eating sausages rolled up in blueberry pancakes.

I’m still exhausted and a touch depressed, as I perpetually am these days, but let’s hope that the good start to the day sets a nice tone.
