Ok, so this is going to be a really stupid post about my morning yesterday…
I woke up feeling domestic…something that doesn’t happen ALL that often! I had plans in my head to make the kids breakfast, not just put cereal bowls out for them. Clean some bathrooms, vacuum, get some bills paid, you know the stuff nobody LIKES to do, but has to get done at some point during the week. Oh, and I was going to do it ALL before Squeaky even woke up!
So I wake Buddy up, he is the first of the two big kids to leave the house in the morning so I generally (well, you know the first 3 days of school) wake him up a few minutes before Bug. I head downstairs, make coffee, let Charlie out, and begin to make pancakes. I go back upstairs, wake Bug up, continue again to make breakfast. Now, I am JUST making pancakes. In my head I have just enough to time, to cook them each a couple pancakes (the just add water kind, but hey I am still “making” them.) I put some sugar in a bowl, cut a lemon, and get things set up just perfect to share the way someone had taught me how to eat pancakes during my childhood.
Tim comes downstairs…now this is where my perfect little morning ends. He puts bacon on the counter…”you know, if you are going to make breakfast, you should MAKE breakfast.” I didn’t want to make bacon. If I had wanted to make bacon, don’t you think I would have started it already? The kids see the bacon and are excited to have bacon, I can’t back out anymore. At that point Buddy is already eating his pancakes, Bug is waiting on hers, and NOW I have to start making bacon. UGH!!
Buddy and Bug finish their pancakes, Tim eats his. I am still making the lovely bacon. Tim leaves for work (without eating any bacon.) Buddy is waiting for his bacon to cool so he can eat his bacon. It is now 7am…Buddy’s bus picks him up at 7:07am…he runs out the door, and is back a couple minutes later. “um, why are you still here?” Well, we all know he has now missed the bus…all because of the BACON!
So, I have to get ready, wake up Squeaky, drive Buddy to school…since we are out of the house already we stop by the grocery store, spend $40, come home, put away the groceries…and since it was then after 9am, I am no longer feeling domestic. And I blame it all on the bacon.
(and I warned you it was a stupid post about my morning! Thanks for reading this far!!)
I know another guy in this world that does the same kinda things to me……could they be related??? I bet their Dad must have done stuff like that. for example, when asked to help ready the house for a bridal shower, he washed the dog and cleaned the garage. Like we are hosting the shower in the garge and eating off the dog??? I bet there are some other wives that have to same difficulties in the world….Can you think of any???
loveyou………….S
That sounds just like a Tim comment! LORDY, we really need to help that guy! Well, now you have plenty of bacon for BLTs and you don’t have to make it!!!!! That is funny! You should buy Tim that quick bacon, the kind you just microwave! Then it is so quick that HE can make it next time!
