Another Cold Morning
This morning I am awakened by lots of banging downstairs, and whining from Littlefoot and Petre. I roll over and realize Shasta's gone... and my alarm hasn't even gone off yet. Jump out of bed and come downstairs to find all the lights in the house on, and Shasta cursing and banging things around by the washing machine.
We're pet-sitting for her brother's two little yorkies, and evidently they pooped all over the bedding in the dog cages and then woke Shasta up with their whining. So she was trying to stuff the dirty blankets and pillows into the washing machine, not having an easy time of it, and exceedingly grumpy for having been pulled out of her nice warm bed to clean up poop.
Went back upstairs to try and cram in that last precious hour of sleep before I had to get up for work... ... and *just* about the time I was *almost* asleep again...
BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP.
*sigh*
As I'm getting dressed for work and Shasta's sleepily trying to remind me of the things I usually forget -- like taking lunch with me -- she adds "and remember your vitamins. Need to be healthy so you can have a baby!"
All I could think of was how hilarious *that* will be. If she doesn't like getting up at 6 AM to clean up dog poop -- oh, just wait 'til it's 3 AM baby diarrhea. *falls over laughing* Well, and also the fact that it's gonna be at least another two years before we can tackle that particular project, what with still having a half-finished house and being low on funds. :P But I talk about our future baby adventures a lot, and it was really cute to hear her mumbling all sleepily about it. Happy morning moment. ♥
