...because sometimes (oftentimes) I don't do ANYTHING productive for the first couple hours of the morning. It's not like I'm getting up early and relaxing before the day starts or anything, either. Lately I don't get up till about 9 or 10. Jordan goes to school full time and works part time, so he's gone for the first few hours of the morning. I putz around, go on Facebook, Baby Center, check my e-mail, look at apartments on Craigslist (because we are moving next summer) and eat. That's about it...
I guess I justify this laziness by the fact that in 5 months, my life will be dramatically different and changed.We've only been married for 7 months, and we never lived together or anything beforehand (duh). We didn't have much time to enjoy being newly married and without kids before I got pregnant. Literally, 3 months later we found out we were expecting. (Though you know me (us, really) we couldn't be happier!)
I don't work right now. I was a lead preschool teacher for a two year old class and halfway through my first trimester, I resigned because I was nauseous all the time and exhausted - none of those things make for a very productive preschool teacher when you have 10 - 20 two year olds hanging on you! Not to mention I was getting sick all the time! Bronchitis, the flu, the stomach flu and colds at least once a month. I was just done.
So now in 5 months I have the baby, my husband graduates with his Bachelors and we move from Fresno to San Diego so he can continue his education by getting his Masters. While he is doing that I will be a first time new mom and starting up an in home daycare to get us through those 3 or 4 years of him being in rigorous training. (He is going to be a pastor and the school he is going to is tough!) I'm going to be quite busy taking care of my newborn along with a few other infants.
So that's my story. Just writing it out helps me not feel so guilty about my nonproductive mornings :)
