Early Mornings!

It is a well documented fact that Mims and I are night owls.  Please don't judge me too harshly that I occasionally let my 5 year-old stay up into the wee hours of the night with me.  Jake works 2nd shift at his job and doesn't usually get home until two in the morning, so there isn't a big incentive to get up bright and early in the mornings, since we don't want to wake him up. So Mims and I had worked out a routine where neither of us got up before 9 am.  I liked that routine. I miss that routine.

Did you know that there was a 6 o'clock in the MORNING too?  I know, big surprise, right?!!  LOL!!!  I have no one to blame but myself, by the way, for this either.  Mims could have gone to the school right by our house that we could have walked to, but no-ho-ho-ho I wanted her transferred to the school that my mom works at.  On a good day, with no traffic, it takes 15 minutes to get there.  Right now, there's road construction and a ton of traffic...

So, we're getting up extra early to get to school on time, and it's totally worth it because Mims has a fantastic teacher this year that she adores.

Which is why this post is extra early.

Thank you, thank you, thank you to everyone who generously gave me their opinions about whether or not to open an online boutique to sell my samples.   I think that the thought and consideration that you gave in your answers was priceless and incredibly valuable.  I think that I may to a combination of things to see what is the most rewarding for me and my family.  I am excited to be sharing this journey with all of you.  I swear I tell everyone I meet that you guys are the kindest, most wonderful, funny and clever friends that I've ever had the joy to meet.  The Dynamos Rule!!!

 I hope you have a wonderful, magical, super-duper awesome positive day and that the secret dream you hold in your heart comes true!

  1. Yay! I am so excited to win! I love those pen covers so much! I responded via email to you with my address. Thank you so much for alerting me and for considering me one of your dynamos! Crocheters are some of the best people, that's what I think! :) <3

  3. Congratulations, AuntyTeeni! :)

    I am all too familiar with the 6 o' clock hour that happens in the morning. Even though I'm homeschooled, Dad insists on waking us up at 6:30. We don't do school on Fridays, so I call that Sleep-in Day! :D

    1. Your dad sounds a lot like what my dad was like when I was a teenager... I think it brought him great joy to wake me up at ridiculously early hours... LOL!!!

  4. I probably shouldn't encourage your completely bizarre and totally immoral habits, but... have you considered just staying up all night and sleeping while Mims is in school? (It's 6:30 pm right now, I'm fixin' to go to bed. Amos and his father will be up till midnight watching 50's horror movies.) I've never understood why school *has* to start early in the morning, you'd think someone would have decided there were enough non-morning kids out there to have a nice 10am - 4pm school day or something. (I'd call it "home schooling" if it weren't for Kaleigh's obviously sadistic father!)

    1. LOL!! That got me laughing so hard that I couldn't catch my breath!
      I would totally stay up, but that's how PAL rolls. He works 2nd shift, so he doesn't get home until 3 or so. Someone's got to be awake to pick her up at noon. LOL!!! It's like being the designated driver at a party every day...

  5. I hope you don't find this as being a negative reply. I'm called Mrs. Safety.
    The pipe cleaner ideal is great. Just make sure not to use them on the little ones because they have wire in them. It is sharp and has a point that can hurt them very bad. Very bad for the eyes.
