Reality

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.
