This morning as I was unloading the dishwasher and waiting for the coffee maker to do it's thing, I turned around to this site:
My immediate thought was, "Best. Mother's Day. Evar." I had visions of sleeping in and the kids getting their own breakfast every morning.
Later as I was about to get into the shower, both kids asked if they could have more cereal. Knowing that Kellyn successfully poured two bowls of cereal this morning, I confidently told them they could. A few minutes later I heard a timid knock on the bathroom door followed by Aric announcing that after my shower was done I needed to come see the mess he made. Yep, he poured cereal all over the table and I crashed back into reality. It will be quite awhile before I can pass along breakfast making duties to the kids. Sleeping in... yeah, that's not going to happen. Evar.
