A Morning In Our House



Woken up by cat puking. Several times. As he scratches at the carpet to attempt to bury it, he wakes up the Cranky Czarina. After a brief period of sleepy crankiness, she gifts us with smiles and begins her morning routine, some of which I capture on the video.

A kiss and a hug for Minion #2 (Daddy), who has to go to work, and then it's upstairs for us. A change of diaper and a new outfit for the day, complete with matching bib and socks. Then a few moments of contemplation while Minion #1 (Mommy) washes her hands. 5 minutes of Tummy Time and 5 more minutes on her throne to exercise the Charming Czarina's neck muscles.




Downstairs now, as Minion #1 microwaves some oatmeal she made the day before. As the oatmeal is warming, Minion #1 has time to load a few dishes in the dishwasher (she loaded most of them at 4am when she got up for water) and wash the Overlord Sustenance Supplies (bottles and pump parts). All the while, the Czarina supervises from her secondary throne, the bouncy chair.

At this point, the Czarina has had QUITE enough of waiting, thank you, and so it's off to the Milk Procurement Area, a.k.a. my rocking chair. As the Czarina enjoys her first breakfast of the morning, Minion #1 pumps more milk. When she finishes, the Czarina graciously allows Minion #1 to eat her oatmeal while the Czarina continues to snack. Afterwards, the Czarina settles down for a short nap in her preferred location, Minion #1's lap. This gives the minion a chance to update the blog for all of the Czarina's adoring fans.
