Early morning catch up

Hello 6am.. long time no see. Let's try not to meet like this again.

yes, I am awake and it's 6 in the morning. Anyone who really knows me, knows that this is extremely abnormal. But don't worry, as soon as I finish complaining about being awake this early, I'm going back to bed. ;) As far as I'm concerned if it's still dark outside, then it's nighttime.

Of course I am awake because Ainsley decided to be. At first it sounded like she was crying for her daddy, but as I got closer I realized she was saying 'i want candy!'. Half asleep and bawling. What a weirdo. I think she must have had some bad dream where I wouldn't let her have any, lol. After calming her down I realized she had a poopy diaper, so I changed that. And while I was doing that she started up with the little cough she's been getting, so I went and got her some honey (hey, quick tip.. did you know that a tbsp of honey is proven to work better for a child's cold than any cold medicine.. it's true, my pediatrician told me). And then as I was putting her back in bed she found her water cup, and was sad that her ice had melted.. so i went and got her some ice. Three more hugs and two more kisses later... and she's back asleep.

I, however am currently in that land where I'm still exhausted but now wide awake. So what's a girl to do in this predicament? Why she blogs, don't you know. It's been a while since I've had a chance to sit down and write. As previously mentioned, I was in sunny California visiting the beaches and the happiest place on earth. Tom's sister just moved to Oceanside, and lives just blocks away from a weekly farmers market, cute little diners and cafe's, and other fun shops. I love it when you are able to walk to places from your house... seems so urban. Like living in NYC, where hardly anyone owns a car. The world is funny, how did we get to a place where small town equals cars and big city equals walking??

Anyhow.. I love walking. I HATE exercising... but I love going on walks.. especially if you are going somewhere. I will give up after 15 mins of a 30 min exercise video but I will walk 2 miles to get frozen yogurt or see a cute little shop. Well, Oceanside was great. Even got a chance to sneak away for a sushi roll down the street once. (yumm) Made me want to move again. Maybe not to CA, Tom thinks its too expensive... but maybe Seattle.. or some other coastal metropolis. Chances are I'll be in Utah for quite a long time.. but it's fun to dream.

Other than that, the beach was fun (also a quick walk away). Disneyland was hot, Tom complained the whole time, and I'm a little disappointed at missing most of the stuff I was excited to go there for... but, I'm letting that go. Ainsley had a great time and that's what matters, right?

Now we are up at the cabin for Tom's longed for extended stay. He will be working and sleeping, I will be baking! (let me know if you want to see pictures.. its gonna be so yummy) and reading, and perhaps even.. a walk. :)

and now... it is 7am.. so my friends.. it is back to bed for me. ciao.
