Morning Running Diary
6:38 AM -- Sammy wakes up. "Mommy, Mommy". Thank goodness it's Mommy 90% of the time so I can just roll over.
6:39 AM -- Sammy and Becky join me in bed. "Do you want to watch JoJo"? She asks. JoJo gets a nod of approval.
6:40 AM -- We turn on JoJo's Circus to our 13" TV. It is too bright. "TOO BIIITTTEEE" Sammy says. He gets used to it.
6:40 AM -- We watch JoJo and learn that not all step mothers are bad. Also -- if you are a clown you can safely have a pet talking lion with a squeaky voice. Lesson learned.
6:55 AM -- Choo Choo Soul comes on. This is a 5 minute short where a bunch of kids ride a train with some washed up wanna be soul singers. Funny thing is, the thing works. It would actually be good if the singer didn't dress like a cross between Jimmy Buffet and Salt n' Pepa.
7:00 AM -- Mommy takes a shower, Daddy and Sam play with his train table. Daddy sneaks away and tries to use the computer. It works for a while. Sam turns on his one electric engine and watches it go around and around. And around and around. The grinding noise the engine makes begins to work its special magic on Daddy's eardrums.
7:01 AM -- The grinding continues
7:02 AM -- The grinding continues
7:03 AM -- The grinding continues
7:04 AM -- Sam is in my lap. He wants to watch videos of tractors on YouTube. We watch a couple of homemade John Deere videos (there are *a lot*), then accidentally watch a tractor themed Thomas the Tank Engine video. OOPS. Sam loves Thomas, but we've been avoiding Thomas videos because they are strange and are pretty much like crack for 2 year olds. And so it begins. "MO THOMAS, MO THOMAS, MO THOMAS!!!"
7:08 AM -- The grinding stops. The battery is dead! Becky is out of the shower. Thomas is over. Daddy's turn in the shower.
