Mornings with a Gargantuan Girl

I think most people simply are awakened by the alarm clock, yawn, moan and roll out of bed. It is no different for me, though with a little added steps and adjustments.

I awaken, usually on my back (though not my preferred position) or on my side (preferred). I am very careful NOT to just TWIST and get up as with all this weight shifting this way or that can and has kinked my spine and neck. So I am careful to maneuver my giant flesh pillows as I slap the alarm to quiet it and start to rise to the new day.

And here's a little bonus: I try to immediately set my mind to a positive mode, a positive voice. Sure, it doesn't work all the time, but it seems when I begin the day with a positive attitude, positive thoughts, telling myself I CAN MAKE IT THROUGH ANOTHER DAY. I CAN DO THIS. RAIN OR SHINE, IT'S ALL OKAY, starts to day off right. (Along with a hot cup of coffee LOL)

Once awake, and having my bearings...from lying on my back or on my side...I work on sitting up, letting all that weight shift, gravity and physics kick in, and feel those big pontoons of love set in position. Then I swing my feet and legs outward off the side of the mattress, plant my feet firmly on the floor, and with a little push and support from my arms, I rise, rise, rise.

Depending on how sleepy I am or not, I might reach out for something to assist in balance, or somewhat cradle myself so I am steady. Then on my feet and steady, I release and wobble/slosh/swing to the bathroom just outside my bedroom door. With my nightshirt all fluffed out with my big heavy, jutting bosoms, I start my daily ritual of getting ready for another day, another day of motherhood, another day of work, another day for the gargantuan girl. :)

Until next time.

Stay positive and be nice to each other and THINK BIG.
