Quiet showers

I love my morning showers. Probably now, as a stay at home.dad, than I did before. I think morning showers force me to get up and get dressed and have some semblance of normalcy to my day that was missing by not going to work every morning.

Because for a long time there wasn’t necessarily a reason to leave the house every day. It was super easy that just stay in my pajamas all day long.

Now however, a quiet early morning shower except for the longest on interrupted alone time I get each day.

And I know taking cold showers is supposed to be good for your body, but I crank the heat up as much as our hot water tank will allow.

I also know that I say a quiet morning shower, but I totally listen to music or a show or the radio or something while I’m showering.

Tired

Edith seems to go back and forth between sleeping through the night and deciding to stay awake for multiple hours a night.

After about 20 minutes between Sam and I, coughing because she has night coughs, I got her up out of our bed and moved to the girls room with her. As soon as we laid down she said “milk,” so I got her some and she passed out sometime in the next hour.

I refuse to acknowledge time passing, but it was around 3am when it was finally quiet and I got back to sleep.

That I’ve been dreaming of
Darlin’ ukulele
That I love

When I’m in San Francisco
I’m dreaming all the time
Deep in the park
Where the constellations shine

Darlin’ ukulele
That I been dreaming of
Darlin’ ukulele
That I love

Dreaming by the ocean
Walking by the sea
Talking to a starfish
And the mermaids sing to me

Maybe I’ve been listening to this song a lot lately.  It’s calming.
