Our Little Cottage

A Look at My Day...My Morning

This was actually written on June 6th...

Good Morning!  I woke up this morning at about 8:10am due to the phone ringing.  I answered with I'm sure a quite groggy, "Hello."  I'm assuming the person on the the end of the line said something like, "Sorry wrong number."  I can't be sure though because I believe they were speaking Spanish!!

Ok, so I'm up...might as well get started!  I jumped on CafeMom really quick just to see if I had any new messages...Nope.  Looked around at some of the activity in the posts.  I don't know if it's just me or what, but there seems to be a huge cloud of negativity looming over the posts the past couple days.  I don't know, maybe I'm just reading the wrong posts!

Now to get my coffee started!  Got it all in the pot and brewing!  8:25am I headed to get dressed, put up my hair, and wash my face.  I'm know that I really need to do some laundry because I'm down to this one blue shirt that I really don't like so much.  I'll have to add that to my list of things to do today!

Ahhhh, coffee is ready.  Mmmm!  Well, since I'm having my coffee...and it usually is at my desk while on the net in the mornings when I'm drinking it...here is a pic of my desk...

This is MY spot!  I do my net surfing here, my banking here, my bill paying here, my menus here, my to do lists here, our home school things here, and much much more!

Well, the little ones are still sleeping...why don't we go see what is going on outside this morning!

But, first, we better make a pit stop at the laundry room to get a load of laundry going!

Sissy puppy, our old dog, wanted to go outside with me, too!

And since we are introducing our furry friends...here's Shakes...our watchdog!

Ok, so on to the habitat garden.  When I come out here and sit down for a quiet moment in my chair...this is what I can see...

It's a wonderful little spot just to take a moment.

Ok, well, let's walk around and see if we find any turtles out yet...

Oh, here is one of the girls...

Do you know how to tell if it's a girl or boy turtle?  The girl turtles usually have darker heads and their shell on the bottom is flat.  A boy turtle has very colorful heads.  From what I've seen mostly yellow and orange mixed with black and/or brown.  Male turtles also have an indent on their belly shell {I don't know if that is a "technical" turtle term, but that's what I call it!}

Oooh, here's Physco...this is Danny's favorite turtle...

Doesn't he have a little scary look to his face?  I think so!  He's still very cool though!

Ok, well...it's 9:17am and Zach and Liam are awake! 

9:32am...Time to figure out what's for breakfast!  Hmmmm???  Oatmeal, I guess!

Let's see...what can we do to make it a little more exciting for the youngins'?   Add color!!

While the water was boiling and the oatmeal setting...I rinsed off some dishes.  Yep, I'm one of those who has to rinse my dishes before putting them into the dishwasher...crazy stuff, huh?  Our dishwasher is older and I guess just not as powerful or something as those nice ones that will actuall get rid of the food particles! 

I also got the coffee pot ready to make another pot of coffee when Danny get's up...he needs his coffee to wake up on his days off!

Well, well...there he is!  Sorry...no pics of him!  He's a little camera shy...so am I!

Well...that's about it for my morning.  I did go out to the habitat garden with Danny for a little while.  We took some pictures of a few turtles...I'll try and add them in a little while!  I'll be back later to update for my afternoon!

Thanks for visiting and hope you enjoyed your stay!
