cold, sleepy house. dec 2008Share. Tuesday, April 28, 2009 at 5:10pm | Edit Note | Delete
While at a friend's house, G and I were playing around with those magnetic words that you put on the refrigerator. You know, the ones that you mix up and put into funny sentences like "his name was RubySue" or that, in my son's case, usually have something to do with bathroom humor. We were busy trying to outdo each other's silly sentences when a phrase popped into my mind that I haven't been able to shake since.
Cold, sleepy house.
For some reason it evokes memories and feelings of waking up in the half-light, when the house is quiet and still chilly from the night before. When everyone else is still nestled warmly in their beds, peacefully sleeping. When you're not yet in a hurry to jump into the shower and get ready for the day's activities, but still slowly, sleepily walking around your house and not yet realising that this moment is a little gift.
