I hate being woke up way too early.

After being woken up at about 4:30 am this morning, it is no surprise that after dropping off the kids at school today, I went back to bed to catch up. (Little Lizzie had a bad dream and I couldn’t get back to sleep after that.) I just now got up, and only because Annmarie called. I think I heard the phone vibrate before that twice (or more), but I’m not sure. LOL  I was just so nice and comfy and warm.

I’m still working on my WIP, so it is coming along slowly. I’m at home writing today and probably all week. I have some holiday housework to do as my brother is coming on Monday night for the holiday. It isn’t too bad here, I moved my laptop out into the living room. I was beginning to feel like a hermit in my office. Besides, I can enjoy the tree out here. My kids have a little set up under the tree. Yesterday I had to put the ornaments they took off back on. (You know, the Hallmark ornaments like Scarlett O’Hara, Barbie, etc. I’m surprised they didn’t take off the Captain Jack ornament.)

Anyway I’m about to make a half of pot of Chocolate Truffle coffee and get down to today’s writing business. I think Mittens is happy I am up, she gets to play by the computer and tease the dogs. She’s going to town on a bell necklace the kids got at that jingle bell run. Let me tell you, I love this cat and she is soooooo spoiled. I totally needed her. And she needs and loves me too.

Okay, coffee time…and writing time…

Oh and a final note to one reader: Check your PO box.

Oh yeah, that is NOT a picture of my tree. I have an artificial one, and presents get delivered on Christmas, not before. I don’t think the kids could resist a pile like the one in the picture. LOL
