Today

Today I woke up earlier than Nate as always. The baby wakes me up early like this, I think. Stretch a little bit and I see my dog, Duff, staring at me. How did I know he had to go outside? Maybe because its the same everyday. Well good, because I have a full bladder as well. I get out of bed and walk to the back door and slide it open to let him out. By the time I am done relieving myself, he is as well, so I go and slide the door open and closed again while Duff runs inside and jumps on me for a thank you.

Time for some oatmeal and computer time to see who's doing what and where I can fit into the mix. The smell of maple and brown sugar overwhelms me and I chow down while no one is up to watch. Slurping it down like the crazy animal I am, while still seeing who is crazy enough to be up the same time and I. My step mom is up, she Instant Messages me to let me know that she thinks my cat from when I was younger might have ran away. "Those black dogs really must have given her a scare," she says. I let her know that I think she is just hiding like normal. I look around and about an hour has passed by already. Time to bother Nate.

Nate is sleeping so soundly that I cannot help but to kiss his cheek, mostly because I know it will wake him up. He opens his blue, sleepy eyes and makes a mean face at me and turns over. I laugh at him and ask him what time he thinks it is.
"Eleven? Ten Thirty?"
"More like 12:30"
"WHAT?" I make him think it's noon for about 10 seconds, then I let him know it's only about 10:30. He gets grumpy again and I allow him to fall asleep without torment until he wakes up.

Watching television now, Nate walks into the room and lays on me to let me know that he is still tired because I woke him up too early. He watches the Live with Regis and Kelly for a solid minute then he gets up and gets on the computer to say hi to his friends. Trying to think of anything that I should accomplish before work today, I come up blank, as normal.

I jump in the shower and wash my hair and wonder if getting my hair wet was a good idea or not. Shrug my shoulders and lather on. Hop out and give it a blow dry, then run the flat iron over it and its done an hour later. Throw some clothes on and then maybe some make up and go to the kitchen to make lunch for Nate and myself for lunch. PB&J sounds perfect.
