It's a hat day- A bit of randomness

Well, this morning. We bundled. I always have mixed feelings about the fall. I love the fall, don't get me wrong. But my problem is the cold. I don't like being cold. I love being warm, though, which also happens in the fall. Let me share:

Yesterday, it was cold outside. 60-something, I think. As a result, it's cool enough right now that we don't run the A/C. But it's not warm enough to merit the Heater. I hate being that cold. But it was also one of those days that once you get snuggled in a blanket and get yourself warm, then you warm a bowl of yummy chili you had made the night before. And you get the "Cozy in the fall" feeling- I Love being cozy. (It also works the same with Hot Chocolate-very cozy food.)

This morning. I did NOT want to wake up. Again, the temp does not merit the heater, but the evenings get very cold. Our wood floors are COLD our tile bathroom floor is COLDER! Had it been a sleep-in saturday, it wouldn't have been so bad. I like the warm covers, and I don't mind the cold so much when I get to stay in my warm covers a bit longer. But Monday is the one day of the week that I work AND have to take the kids to my SIL's to be babysat. Which means I have to be up early enough to get myself AND two kids ready. Pack lunches for Hikari and I, and spend 20 minutes nursing a sleepy baby before we go. (That's his usual time to eat, but then I usually lay him back down and me back down for an extra hour after that). I have to get up way too early! Most of the time I try and do most of my preparation the night before. (Diaper bag, Lunches, clothes ready). But it was my fault, and I was being lazy last night, and just decided to do it in the morning. Now back to the weather issue. It was COLD. I'm not sure exactly how cold, but it was cold. BUT...then when we were leaving I was putting jackets on the kids, and I decided to put a beanie hat on little Chunky Monkey. He looked so cute! And we were all bundled and cozy! I love it. I'll have to get a picture and post it. As we walked outside, I was glad that I had indeed put the additional hat on his head. It must be that I just love being cozy. You never can feel cozy in the summer. Only when it's cold outside. So I guess I do like the cold..but I don't like being cold...I like being Cozy. And Today is a Hat Day!
