The Lamest of Lame

Am I crazy or does everyone start their days earlier than I? This is my routine: I get up around 8:30 to the sound of my husband singing songs to the baby about how he has to shave his beard or shave his head or walk the dogs:

“Daddy do! Daddy say! Daddy go!”
“Daddy shave! Daddy sing! Daddy know!”

Yes, it is true. Then, I mosey into the bathroom, put my hair in some sort of tolerable ponytail, brush my teeth and head to greet the baby. For the next 15 minutes or so, I talk to Squid, make fun of Jason scrambling to get out of the house and make a very large, very strong pot of coffee - all while adding my own colorful verses to his songs:

“Oh my god, shut up, you’re gonna make me cry.”
“If you don’t shut up, I’m going to kick your ass.”

“That doesn’t rhyme.”

“Ahhhhh!”

“Ha ha, I win! I win! I destroy you!”

“Yeah, you really do. Now, seriously, get dressed and leave.”

“Ha ha ha, you lose!”

“Oh! My! God! Get out of here!”

“I can see you smiling.”

“Shut up!” At which point I can’t hold it any longer and start to laugh, all the while throwing his clothes at him and pushing him toward the door.

Then, I sit down to my computer, flip on the television (watching 9 am reruns of Dawson’s Creek is a must in the whole starting my day routine), put the baby down for his morning nap and search other blogs.

Wow, it seems everyone but me posts reeaally early! I feel proud if I can get one out by noon. Does this make me a total loser or what? Either I’m the laziest mom alive or I’m super, super lucky! Such a fine line…
