Good morning!
Both Ellis and I are dressed and hanging out in the living room. It's before 9 am. This means I'm already showered. And I'm drinking coffee and on the computer. Did I mention that it's before 9 am? And no, he didn't get up at some crazy early hour like yesterday, merely a respectable 7 am. Yes, we are up and dressed before 9 am. Miracles do happen, folks. Miracles do happen.
Actually, lately Ellis has been content to watch Signing Time while I take a shower, and that has improved our mornings considerably. Usually it has been very distressing for him to have me disappear into the bath; I even leave the bathroom door open. So I would just wait until Daddy came home after 9 am. But lately, it's been better, which is why you're getting a boring blog entry before 9 am. Just because I can.
E hasn't had too bad of a night lately, but for some reason I am dog tired (no, I'm not pregnant). I wake up feeling wasted not rested. A heavy night of intense dreams (no, seriously, I can prove I'm not pregnant) leaves me feeling worn out. I don't know what is up with me. Last night I dreamt I was offered funding to start a PhD program in Los Angeles. Of all places! Totally not on my radar. I've never even been there. And the funding was too good to pass up (yea, must've been a dream) and we up and moved out to L.A. Weird. But it would be warmer than this sogginess.
Anyway, so maybe some extra coffee and a brisk walk will do the trick. So, uh, good morning, folks. Have a good day.

yay! What a good start. I'm so glad you got to "sleep in" and get a shower already. I wonder if the LA dream had anything to do with hanging out with Courtney last night. Hmm. Maybe lots of money lies in your future. :)

Sheesh, I had so many sleepless nights and crazy dreams as I was finishing my thesis, and then again before my generals a few weeks ago. Grad school puts crazy pressures on us. I'm so glad to hear that Ellis is helping you out by sleeping well and letting you take a shower by yourself-- it sounds like a nice change and a sign of more independence on his part. =)
