Sweet Mornings

Waking the boys up for school, not too bad. They tend to get up fairly well, stumble downstairs and take turns in the shower.

And then, there is hyper ME.

What do you guys want for breakfast? Yogurt, Toaster Strudel, Pop Tart, Cereal, Pancakes, Waffles, Sausage?????? Both respond with "I'm not hungry". Or sometimes Johnny will ask for a popsicle or slice of cheese. Sure whatever dude, just eat!!!

Can we watch TV? Yes, after you are dressed.

As I rush around and try and get myself ready for work as well...... Yelling from my bathroom "Go brush your teeth". Five minutes pass...... "Did you brush your teeth." As I hear feet running up the stairs.

"It's 8:16" My daily countdown. "It's 8:18" "Come on, I need to do you hair!!"

Waiting at the kitchen sink. tick tock tick tock. "IT"S 8:19 Move IT!!"

"Johnny, come here, hold still, look at me, quit looking at the floor (Daniel, turn the TV off) oh Lord Johnny look at your nose, let me wipe it, hold still, it does not hurt, I am being gentle, hold still, STOP IT, IT DOES NOT HURT, just one more, okay just one more, almost got it, hold still, COME HERE, finally got them all!!

Daniel come here, hair, hold still, look at me. Thank you! Get your shoes on quick, it's 8:27 and we should have been out the door 2 minutes ago, MOVE IT!

Got your back pack? Lunch? Daniel is your homework all together? Where is your coat Daniel? Hurry up run upstairs and see if it is in your room. Crap, it's 8:29 HURRY!!! "Mom, I have to go poop." Oh LORD, COME ON ALREADY, hurry UPPPPPPPPPP!!

Where the heck are my car keys, FOR REAl, come on where are they, hurry up and get in the van I'll be there in a sec. Finally find my key, bust it into the van, start backing up while putting my seatbelt on and closing the garage, burning 30 mph down my street. And yes, I usually get stopped at the red light.

I love the morning rush!
