not a morning person

This wasn't Casper today, but rather the day that we drove down to Athens, after the movers took our stuff.

last day at old house (in park)

Her attitude today was rather more screamful, with added kicking and fighting. We made it to school only five minutes late (first tardy notice on day five!), but mr. flea thinks we should start waking her at 6:30 instead of 7, to have more time to deal with her before the 7:30 leave the house deadline. I dunno. I wish this would get her to sleep earlier, but not so far.

The thing about Dillo sleeping through (he would have last night, except a bathroom-needing screamfest from Casper at midnight woke him) is that when he sleeps through, he's up for the day at 5 or 5:30 or 6. I guess this is better than up at 10 and 12 and 2 and 4, but it's still sub-ideal.

From all the way across the ocean and the I-don't-have-to-get-her-ready-for-school, I just love her expression in that picture.

Gah, that Casper photo kills me! I have also always been a grumpy morning type of person. My mom has some hilarious photos of me in the morning at about Casper's age with a very similar expression. Grumps unite!

You entirely have my sympathies. Remember that this will get less bad as they get adjusted to the new place. And they will adjust! Eventually! I promise!
