i wish i were as lucky.
6:30 dustyn up, gage up.

okay so i fight sleep and try to wake up. (i'm lazy)
7:30 we're up! we're up! (think disney jr)

i start cleaning out and reorganizing every drawer, cupboard in my kitchen.

and more cleaning and playing. (and rescuing random things out of gage's mouth)

take apart gage's high chair and put it in the washer.
of course off and on through out the day, I am checking my email on my iPod and playing Smurfs.
