ten minutes
I've got roughly ten minutes to sit here and enjoy the quiet of a sleeping house. Of course, it's not totally sleeping. The dog is already up, had her breakfast and is waiting for her walk. The cats are up to their usual kitty early morning nocturnal behavior, batting J-man's stray socks around the house. To be fair, I woke Chloe in order to reclaim my computer chair.
So what's been going on at casa de Angie? Hmm... a whole lot of not much. Yesterdy was fairly productive, Jonas and I managed to get his big red wagon home from Granny and Daddy Dave's house. It required a borrowing of vehicles, since it wouldn't fit in either of ours. While we were gone Wil did some home maintenance stuff that was long overdue. He worked on the water-softener, and now we have less stinky, less staining but still undrinkable well water. He tore down and replaced our dangerously rusted, leaning and non-closing mailbox. The new one is a huge improvement. The mailman is going to cream his shorts, I think.
And to top off my evening, he brought me home a fancy new vacuum cleaner. Wahoo! I know... you're not supposed to buy your wife things like appliances for gifts or some such nonsense, but this thing rocks! We really don't have a whole lot of carpet in our house, but this one does bare floors well, and it also has a self-cleaning electrostatic duster attachment. Very very cool since I have to be more religious about the dusting now tht Jonas has been diagnosed as being allergic to everything!
And on that topic, I can't really tell if the Claritin is doing him any good or not. He still seems congested and he still runs like a faucet most of the time, but the circles under his eyes are a bit lighter, and he seems to sleep better at night. Hmm... could be related I suppose, but how can you tell?
Anyway, 6 am approaches, and I must now go dig for appropriate clothes for Jonas to wear and get him ready for school. It sucks when it's 40 degrees in the morning, and by mid-day it's 75. No idea how to dress him. Last time I layered him, daycare left him layered all day. He must have sweltered in the afternoon!
Yes, I AM the over-protective mom.
A good morning, and a good week to you all.

Thanks Ang'. You too! And thanks for your recent comments over by my blogsite. *hugs*
hey!
a friend of mine got a Roomba for Christmas... she was ecstatic. :)
I simply can't do mornings as early as yours unless I'm getting to them from the other side.
*hug*
My mom has a roomba, and loves it. It think that it would be more of a kitty torture device around here if I left that thing running around the house all day. :)
Early mornings aren't so bad, L, as long as you're not compounding them with long nights. For example, I was already in bed last night when you posted your comment! Bedtime comes early when you're a mom, or at least when you're a mom that's up at 4:45 every morning. :)
Mike, it's always a pleasure having you stop by. *hugs* backatcha
Claritin sucks. It might give you a buzz if you mix it with vodka lol but that's about it. I'm convinced they're pulling a big scam. Try something generic, I find target brand (drowsy), or non-drowsy loratidine is the best.
Weird that one person's brand of loratidine would be any more potent than the other. That's all Claritin is, and according to the labels, they all have the same dose, 5mg/5ml. Hell, if it were for me, I'd mix myself a cocktail of every brand out there, but with J, I'm a little more picky about what I put in his system. IF it's strictly loratidine, I'll try it, but if it's got other garbage in it, I'll pass. Also, the Claritin for kids is fairly new on the market, and some places don't make a generic for it yet. I shall look around though. Thanks.
