Backstory
- Julie
- Pennsylvania, United States
- I'm currently a stay at home mother, freelance writing on my off time, wondering how I became part of the ten thousand year old tradition of raising the kids while creating textiles. I grew up in NE Ohio dairy country, married a sailor, lived in Hawaii ten years, lived in SC for five years, then moved back to culture shock and confusion. Nothing but good times ahead.

Look at the BABY! What a little cutie pie!
Right after I steal Sheepish Annie's cat I'm swinging down to SC and stealing the baby.
I divorced one "happy morning" person, and convinced the other one that it was in her best interest (if she HAD to be so freakin happy) to not let me see it so early in the morning.
Goddess she's cute... how can you hold that smile against her? (Unless it's 5:00 am and you usually sleep until 5:45, and suddenly she wants to be fed RIGHT NOW... Okay okay I get your point.)
My baby girl is a morning person too. She will literally just sit up directly from sleeping and be ready to play. I have no idea where she got that.
She's wishing her mommy a HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! That's why she's so happy!
Ha! I outed you.
I have happy morning people here, to. I hates them all, until at least 8:00 AM.
how freaking joyful is that? My God I'm just aching (first thing in the morning here) to be that happy in the morning, not the bitter, jaded monster I feel like.
Oh and happy birthday Julie!
Oh. My. God. That is the cutest thing I've ever seen!!!
However, I might feel a little differently were I faced with such unbridled happiness first thing in the morning. That is a lot 'o happy!
oh...and happy birthday!
Happy birthday toooo yoooouuuu. . .
Ahem. Happy birthday from another October baby!
Anyway, my dad, me, and all my three brothers were always the Bear Family in the morning. Ergh, rahr, eat food. Coffee good. My mom is all perky and chipper like a chickadee -- you can imagine how that went over at the Bear-ish breakfast table.
Ours used to get up at 4:30 AM. Daily. Every day. To get up. and. play. (or scream)
A year later (she's 2), at 7 AM she said, "Daddy, turn out the light. Abby sleep."
It will get better. It must. I promise.
Happy Birthday! I hope you get some snippet of time for yourself. And only yourself. One can wish!
Happy happy birthday!
