I’ll miss you. Maybe.

“Mom, I’m going to miss you so much. I’m sad you are leaving on Valentine’s Day. It’s like the first holiday that you will be gone. Ever. Did lee know what day this was when he booked your trip?”

“Yes Georgia, he knew it was Valentine’s Day. It was suppose to be more romantic that way. Plus, I’ll only be gone a half day longer than usual from you. I’ll be here in the morning.”

“Oh, so will we still get our Valentine’s Day presents”

😐

Yeah- she’s really going to miss me tons. 🙄

Early Mornings

Little did I know when we gave the kids Echo Dots at Christmastime what changes lay in store for us. Georgia discovered how to tell 'Alexa' to set an alarm for her every morning. Much to my surprise Georgia is now waking up on her own at 6am (huh? why?? I know...), making her own lunch and breakfast. By the time I roll out of bed at 7am she's just hanging out waiting for me. I cannot tell you how much faster this makes our mornings go!! It is the most AMAZING thing in the world. I don't have to do anything except fix her hair and we are off!

So many things about her growing up make me so sappy and sad. Hands down, not this one, not this one at all. If I only knew a voice activated alarm would have made this change in our lives I would have set it up YEARS ago. 

Praise you Alexa. Praise you.
