I need my husband back

By -

Brad has been out of town for about a week now, and this morning I came to the undeniable realization that I need a husband. Not for the cuddling and the help opening the jam jar (although those two things are excellent perks to marriage), but for the incentive to get my butt out of bed.

My alarm clock went off at 6:00, after which I continued to push snooze every nine minutes until about 7:15. I'm supposed to be to work at 7:30, by the way. Normally, Brad would have kneed me in the kidney after snooze number two and shoved me out of bed. It sounds cruel; but it's necessary.

So, in my unwed, lazy state, I'm currently un-showered, my make-up consists of one haphazard coat of mascara, and apparently I didn't look in the mirror when I put on these pants with this shirt. Not to mention I began first period by snapping at at least two unsuspecting teenagers. I feel bad - but it takes me at least an hour to perk up in the morning.

As long as those 2 S.O.B. students deserved it, right? :) Jason is also anti- snooze button, though I still manage to squeeze a few in there from time to time. Only one more morning, Michelle!

I feel for you- Brett just left town for a week and I'm slightly anxious to be alone with my 2 kids for that long. It makes me realize how heavily I rely on him. Unfortunately, I do not have the problem of getting up early enough with these boys of mine, so I'd be happy to lend you one if you want and I'm sure you'd be up in plenty of time to start the day right! :)

I love that you are the same as me... (Both not getting up in the morning and blogging while teaching HA!) We had fun yesterday. Sorry you didn't feel well though.

No worries about the teenagers. They probably derserved it. It's good for them. Hope Brad gets home soon! It is hard when the hubby is gone.

i totally agree! i have the HARDEST time waking up in the morning. at first it was hard for wade, now he just leaves me in peace because i totally rip his head off when i have to wake up. poor guy. its sad i know. maybe i should start making him kick me out of bed in the morning. but then my husband might not have a head after i'm done with him....it is a good thing we have such patient husbands. good luck for the rest of the week.

You never did enjoy waking up. Do you remember when after several attempts to wake you up for Seminary I pulled off your covers and you sat up saying, "Some mothers kiss their children in the morning!" Talk about guilt, but I love you anyway.

Who are you kidding, Michelle? Brad can't open a jam jar. Everybody knows that. But he is a phenomenal spooner. I'll give him that. Thanks for letting him come out to play.

Sayla Larsen and Kaiya have dance together on Tuesdays. Imagine a dozen uncoordinated three-year-olds running around a studio in tutus. It's pretty much the cutest thing ever. The girls were playing at our house after class the other day. They are so funny together... See? Told ya.

Valentine's Day photos

Valentine's Day seemed as good an excuse as any to schedule long-overdue photos for the kiddos. (And I'm posting all of my favorites because I can.  Also so that my mom and Marsha can tell me which ones they want me to print for them.) Ben was an absolute turd during this photo shoot, which is why I'm amazed these pictures turned out as good as they did.  I will have to Photoshop that sucker out of his hand when I order prints for the wall, though.  Here's our little GQ junior model...  Seriously, how could anyone stay mad at that face?  And here's Miss Kaiya!  She is growing up WAY too fast for my liking. This one is my favorite! So... once Ben finally cheered up, Kaiya acted up, and our attempts at getting a decent sibling photo were kinda' thwarted... This one will have to do :)

Christmas 2012

Christmas Eve We attempted to teach the Walker grandkids the nativity story by having them act it out.  Ben was uncooperative and the costumes need some work (my fault), but the kids were pretty cute nonetheless.  Ben cheered up when he got to play with this super friendly golden retriever puppy that my in-laws were babysitting/hiding (he was to be a Christmas surprise for some friends).  What is it about this breed that is so stinkin' cute!?    Kaiya decorated some cookies for Santa by emptying two jars of sprinkles. Christmas Day   Since we video taped the whole procession, we neglected to take too many pictures Christmas morning.  But here are a couple shots of the magic.  Among other things, Santa gave Kaiya a puppy... as real a puppy as she'll ever get, anyway :)   Santa also brought Ben his own little car which he's been driving around the basement for three days (alongside Kaiya on her new birt...
