A couple of months ago Whitney came into to my bedroom one morning while I was under the covers reading. I love to lie in bed and read on the rare mornings I don't have to get up right away. So this one morning the kids came in and were talking to me and jumping on the bed and just sharing their high-energy selves with me. They wanted me to get up and get them some breakfast, and I was teasing them and saying how I just couldn't get out of bed, so then Whitney said, "oh no she's in the cozy." I thought it was the perfect thing to say, and we hadn't ever had a name for it before, but now we do.
I'm just thinking about this because last night was a very late night for me because we had Michelle's birthday dinner with the book club ladies and didn't leave Amy's house until almost 1:00am, so this morning I was having a hard time waking up and was under the covers when Whitney came in and joined me "in the cozy." I love this term, I love being in it, and I love it that Whitney made it up.
**Do you hop right out of bed in the morning or do you like to linger in the cozy?**

ohhh i love that too. as of today we will adopt that word from your family. I know have two maher/stuart words. the other one being "meli" def: the feeling on the roof of your mouth after you eat something like capt crunch ceral. you taught me that my freshman year.
anyway. i am pretty much a get out of bed right away only because the pain of laying there is much worse. i usually have someone beating my head or pulling my hair.
tell whitney i do love that name!
I used to be a lay in bed gal until I had Mya, and once she is older I look forward to returning to my old self. LOVE the term though, might have to adopt that one.
I wish I were in the cozy right now. Well, duh, I am the mother of an alomost 10-month old, so I have to hop-to right away at about 6:30 every morning.
Great term. I wish I could be "in the cozy" when I wake up, but it almost never happens.
That term describes it perfectly! I would love to be in the cozy every morning, unfortunatley I never wake up until my kids GET me up! When we put our oldest in her big girl bed (she had just turned two), my husband and I told her that her bed was like her crib, only it was for big girls. But that she still had to wait for mommy or daddy to come get her out of bed. It worked like magic! She is now four and she still calls for me in the morning, saying "Mommy, I'm done", or "I'm ready to get up now!" The only downside is that I physically have to get out of bed to get her! So no in the cozy for me!!!
If I had my druthers, I'd stay in the cozy every morning and read. Sadly, I have to get up with Eva and/or get the boys ready for school. Something to look forward to in my future!
My problem, besides my kids, is if I stay in bed then I drift in and out of sleep. I never get any real reading done and I spend all day feeling like I didn't wake up. The reality is, when I didn't have kids, I lounged in bed as long as I could. But I have so much to do these days, I don't think I could be cozy. I earn my chance to be in the cozy at the end of the day.
I would LIKE to be in the cozy (and yes, I am going to steal that clever phrase), but it's just not a possibility. Like Jenn, I'd just fall back to sleep and then I'd be tired all day. It's better that I just get up, no matter how badly I want to stay in my nice warm bed.
I can't wait until Laitlin starts coming up with stuff like that. I love when kids make up terms like that. They give so much insight into the way they think, and the way they understand what they see and experience. Unfortunately I have to be a hop right out of bed person most of the time. KAitlin cried when she wakes up and I can't bear to listen to it for too long. Whenever I have the opportunity (like I will nest weekend :) ) I stay in bed as long as possible.
In the COZY probably is not a morning thing for me. I love the term and really really really look forward to it at night, when everyone is in bed and I am cuddling up in the sofa with my throw and a nice lamp with a dim light and ready to watch a show/movie...that is a wonderful time to have...too bad sometimes they are far and in between.
I love that saying. I love to cuddle with little kids, they're so moldable. Thankfully my nieces and nephews are very cuddley. I'm usually rolling out of bed to jump in the shower and go to work. I don't often linger in bed because then I just go back to sleep. I could never lay in bed and read, again I would just to do sleep, I'm jealous that you can get all warm and cozy in bed and not fall asleep. Enjoy the cozy time
