I managed to get The Toddler to sleep a little more this morning so I didn’t have to get out of bed until a little after 8:00. It was chilly enough to make me look at the thermostat and feel guilty for not turning the furnace on before bed last night. My son and his friend are sleeping in the basement and if it’s only 64 degrees upstairs, the boys are probably a lovely frosty shade of blue right now. Hopefully that means they’ll sleep longer.
I was able to arm myself with caffeine before The Toddler got up. We snuggled on the couch for a bit and now he’s sitting behind me trying to make sense of all his wooden puzzles. Okay, really, he’s stabbing the pieces at the boards and then fussing when he really gets stuck about every seven seconds or so.
But it’s mostly peaceful in the house this morning. That is, if I don’t look around at the mess, ignore my daughter’s bark and remind myself there is a whole big day ahead of us and we’re not required to be anywhere or do anything all day.
