'SaturDAY IN THE LIFE' The Morning

April 24, 2010

7:36 a.m.

sun is rising, barely. Dark clouds are coming. Rains are imminent. We never tire of the sun rising and setting over the surrounding peaks.

7:49 a.m.

special breakfast: beating the eggs for the waffles. Coffee is on, we still 'need' our coffee even though it is decaf. We have gone from mostly milk and sugar with a little coffee to just coffee with a special creamer if we have some, if not, black. Therefore we have become more particular about the kind of coffee...this is starbucks, yum yum when eaten with really sweet waffles and syrup.

David cooks the waffles. This is what we do. I prep, he cooks.


7:55 a.m.

Awake and all smiles. As usual. We cannot believe Bella is already in this outfit. Yesterday Sophia was wearing it, seems like it anyway...

8:02 a.m.

sleeping beauty makes her appearance on the scene. She still calls for us and we go 'get' her or let her get up. Only one time has she gotten out of bed on her own and that was at a nap time. We are not sure when they are supposed to get up by themselves and wander around, but we like that she doesn't.

8:10 a.m.

watching them cook

8:26 a.m.

taking medicine. this is 'my life' now, for 9 months (it has already been 6) I have to take INH after having a positive ppd skin test. That is for TB. NO, I do not have TB, but possible exposure. Bella also had to take some, as you know, for her reaction to the immunization she received, this particular day was Bella's very last day of INH medicine, YEAH!!!

8:28 a.m.

Bella's breakfast, oatmeal and chopped up mango and wheat germ.

9:16 a.m.

Staying in our PJs for awhile on Saturdays, this was a morning dance session.

9:46 a.m.

Language class. Usually I run at this hour and have class in the afternoons but Abby had to go to a wedding. And I pulled a muscle in my back, causing great pain and the inability to run today.
