Good Morning. I figured that my 5000th post should go ahead and be in my own thread, this morning.
It has been a good few days for me here. I woke up this morning with a bit of a headache, maybe the coffee will make it go away. And the coffee is so good today. So very good.
I lift my Tink cup to you all, today! YAY!
I let the alarm go off for about 10 minutes this morning, just ignoring it, and laying there thinking. Thinking happy things. Thinking feel good things. I finally got up, and the clock said
5:11.
The kitties kept meowing at me.. get up, get up!!! Don't you hear the alarm? Little Moo, who is Mollie, got in my face, rubbed my cheek, meow?
Lucy just lay there.... snuggle kitty. Yes, I am the cat lady. They have both taken to sleeping on the right side of my bed. I have the left, and they have the right.
Sometimes I wake in the night, from a dream, and I gasp for air, as though I have not been breathing, as though I have been holding my breath. Lucy wakes up, and comes right to me. Her purr still sounding, she comes to me with a quiet little meow. You ok?
So, I am the cat lady... lol. I have my kids, and I have my cats.
The cats get up with me, the kids take forever. I walk down the stairs, the cats right next to me. I have to be very careful, so as not to have them trip me up going down the stairs. I get to the bottom of the stairs and I slip on my rocket dogs....(shoes)
I open the front door of chimes. It squeaks. Then the storm door, it makes a loud noise, one that I do not know the name of. Down the stairs I go, to behold the stars which were left out for me to see.
Clear sky, bright stars. The air is just a little cool, with alot of dampness. It is going to be a warm day out today. Like yesterday. I did not see the moon, I am thinking it is behind those tall, tall trees.
So now, both kids are up. I did not have to fight L as I usually do, to get her out of bed. She woke with just my call today, and she came down the stairs. She came down, without yelling from her room... I AM UP! I AM UP! Nope, today, she just walked down.
A came down several minutes early, us having been talking through the vent in his floor which comes down here into the dining room where I am. I love you Mommy, he says to me.
I am getting up now. I love you toooo!
Good Morning!
He comes down the stairs, I can only laugh. He walks through the french doors of the living room with his back pack on. Only thing is, the only other clothes he has on are his underwear!
I was cracking up. He walked through, so tall, backpack on, lunch bag in hand... underwear. LOL.
I said... OMG I am blind!!!! I was laughing so hard. We both went into the kitchen and I hugged him as tight as I could, telling him that I loved him, zerberting him on the neck.
He goes to get some jeans from the top of the dryer, and here is L. I hug her, and smell her hair. I tell her I love her, and squeeze her tight. Her hair smells so good, I tell her so. I tell her she smells good enough to eat, and I go on to pretend I am going to eat her hair and neck.
I am gonna get your britches Mommy, she says! I get my very own zerbert from her, now, on my neck.
She says, I need to go in there, but I am going to wait, because A is all half naked in there... ewwww...
I laugh sitting here thinking of it. They are both in a very good mood this am. They stay with me this weekend. The only thing they want to do is go to the library and check out some books.
I can swing that. Last night I had A shair the couch with me. I had him move out of my spot and grabbed the blanket he was snuggling with. He sat on the rest of the couch. He said I am gonna go get my snuggly blanket, my superman cape. Before he can move from the couch, I flip up the afgan my mother made for me when she was sick from cancer onto him.
Aww Mommy, see, thats why I love you.... cuz you share... and cuz you're my Mommy. He snuggles with me. We are a bunch of snuggle bunnies around here.
I sat with him and we watched Smallville. He kept tickling me, and I was screaming. NO!!! No Tickling Mommy!!!
L came down from the shower. Joined in. I dont have a chance.
I love these kids so very much. They are just my life. My everything. If they hurt, I hurt. If they are happy, I am so very happy. My son picked out his classes for high school yesterday... Where has the time gone?
He was just a baby, laying across my lap, I was twenty, and he was a baby. His little butt up in the air. So many people at the house. I used to bathe him on the kitchen table. Before he could go in the water. It was just like yesterday. Tuesday, he will be fourteen.
Here is L, now, all dressed, looking like a young woman. I say to her... look at you, pretty girl. She smiles at me, and comes to me, a kiss on the cheek.
These are my mornings, for the most part, once everyone settles. Nothing but love, and kisses. Hugs.
This is the life. Monday cannot take me down. Monday was a bump. You know, maybe it was a hurdle. But I got over it. Just like everything else, I got over it.
What does not kill us makes us stronger.
With Him, I am everything, without Him, I am nothing..
