Wet inside and out
I got to work at 7:15 today. That means I left the house at the ungodly hour about 6:45. Why so early? I thought you’d never ask. My answer is threefold:
1) It’s raining very hard. As I mentioned earlier, Southern Californians can’t drive in the rain. They think they can, but they cannot. They don’t realize that wet things get slippery and they should slow the hell down. The earlier I leave, the less cars on the road and less likely to get hit or stuck in accident traffic.
2) It’s President’s Day so the mochis don’t have daycare or pre-school. I left them home with my mom who might regret visiting after babysitting today, without having to worry about changing them out of their pajamas, doing their hair, feeding them breakfast, etc.
3) G sneezed at 5:00 am. We heard, “Bleshoo, Daddy” and she was up from that point on. and if you know Baby Mochi, once she’s up anytime near dawn, she doesn’t go back to sleep.
We gave her way too much to drink because her diaper had soaked through the 2 layers of pajamas into the sheets. I found out when I lifted her out of her crib and put my arm under her butt and felt the warmth seeping through my sleeve. As I put her down, she declares almost proudly, “All wet!” That’s always nice first thing in the morning.
40) Don’t sneeze between nightfall and dawn.
