A Different Monday


I got up, with the intention of sneaking downstairs and having my coffee and breakfast 
before the kids would wake


when, in the hallway, I noticed a light on in one of the bedrooms.
 I opened the door and this was my surprise morning greeting. 
All three were quietly looking at books!
Who trained them, I wonder?
"We are waiting for you to make us breakfast." they told me. . . .
and so down we all went to fix pancakes. . . 
which they thought was unusual on a school day.


I know that part of the way things go or don't go this week
will depend on how organized this Mimi is. . .
but the fun part is that they can laugh with me
when I use the excuse that I'm not used to being a mom anymore.

I'm smiling at that...'I'm not used to being a mom anymore'! It seems to me that you managed just fine this week.
