And I even did some laundry.
By Moriah on October 25th, 2008
Ironically, the very morning after I posted about how late we wake up, our doorbell rang at 8:45 a.m. yesterday and we were all still asleep.
In my defense, it was very dark and rainy outside, a perfect day to sleep in. I stumbled to the door and peered out to find the roommate of a friend, asking for Andy; her car was right in front of our house with a flat tire.
I was half-asleep. I should have welcomed her inside. But it didn’t even cross my groggy consciousness to do anything besides go get Andy and crawl back under the warm covers.
He threw on some clothes and a fleece and went and rescued the damsel in distress. Or at least got her car functioning again.
I had really wanted to go on a family outing yesterday and so later in the morning, we all went to the kids’ museum. It’s really fun to go with Andy because he can take Drew and Madeline around to all the older exhibits and I can chase Adelaide around the more basic stuff.
And he has fun playing with them. And I have fun watching that.
Since it was raining, we decided to stay and eat lunch in their cafeteria. (Note to self, bring along a few side dishes. Because $.75 for six mandarin oranges is a bit steep.)
Last night Nicky and the boys came over to eat and spend the evening fighting over toys and watching Mary Poppins. Steve’s still out of town, and Andy works nights, so it was a perfect opportunity to get together.
But really, who can refuse free dinner, cookies, tea, and popcorn?

Are you a night owl? Is that how you are able to sleep so late?
Do you live in Seattle?
I’m not much of a late sleeper, but I do take cat naps when I can get away with it!
Thanks again for last night. It was great to watch mary poppins again after all these years and not be scared of the old man at the bank.
I *tried* to sleep late today but my internal alarm woke me up at 6:20 just like every other morning of my adult life. Sigh.
Lucky you.
Hope you have a lovely Saturday.
I am totally a night owl who would be happy to stay up until 2 and then sleep in til 10 every day if I could. Unfortunately having a small child puts a damper on that dream.
Wow, .75 for 6 little mandarin oranges…yeah, it might be smart to bring a few things of your own.
Too funny! My mom wanted me to pick her up this morning at 7:30 after she dropped her car off at the car dealership for repairs. I said, “No problem.” She called me last night to say she postponed it for another day and I said, “Cool, I can sleep till 7:00!” ;) You’re too funny – I wish I could sleep in and I get mad at myself when I don’t.
My husband is a good “player” with the kids as well. Much better than me.
SOunds like you had a great night!
Ummm…..sleeping to 8:45? OMG. I can’t even get my kids to sleep until 7!!
