Have I mentioned just how amazing my husband is? Not lately? Well, let me just gush for a bit. He does morning drop off duty for school so that I can sleep in and avoid the worst of the morning sickness. I seem to do better if I can sleep later, so he is generous and gets up with our oldest son every morning, feeds him breakfast, gets him ready, makes his lunch, and then drives him to school. This allows me (and our toddler) to sleep in and we usually tumble out of bed sometime around 9AM. By then, the worst of the nausea is past and I am usually able to cope with it.

This week, he is at a training class in Lillington all week. Which means he leaves the house at about 5AM so I have morning duty. And it SUCKS. My alarm went off at 6:30 and I hit the snooze until 7AM. Got up, woke up the big kid, fixed his breakfast, gagged a lot, made his lunch, sent him to get dressed, gagged some more, threw some clothes on, then pulled the cranky toddler out of his warm bed and got everyone out to the car. Made it to the school, dropped him off and headed back home. All before 8AM. And of course cranky toddler fell back to sleep in the car and so I just carried him back in and laid him down on the couch to sleep. Wish I could go back to bed but now I’m all awake.

I guess I should try to be productive or something. I’ve got 2 bathrooms that need to be cleaned and laundry out my ears. There’s no telling what I could accomplish if I actually got up at a normal hour…
