The New Family

6.20am... I secretly squint to see who is standing beside my bed breathing rather heavily. It is The Little Man. He has been told just the night before to stop waking people up. Perhaps he is trying a new mind over matter strategy.

6.30am... The Little Man leaves, clomping down the stairs... no doubt in the hope of waking me up that way.

6.50am... Up and at em'. Into the shower, out, dressed, hair, face etc.

7.20am... The Middle Man stumbles from the bedroom all mussy and cute... and warm... oh so warm... and cuddly.

7.30am... "OMG! Mum! Mum! The Guinea Pig has had her babies."

We all rush outside and start lifting lids on the Pig Hotels and find two of the most adorable little creatures... OMG Mother Nature is just so divine... I am in love again... They are sooo beautiful! But we must get to school...


oh dear... we cannot concentrate on anything else now... oh.... did I say 'we'? I meant ME. I cannot concentrate on anything at all... they are beautiful! Last night they were in mum's tummy and today they are out and about, living life and as my sister says "Ready for school!" It's amazing! They have claws so long... her insides must be all scratched. Dear dear little feet. All pink and new and unstained.
