So today, as I lay in bed, I was thinking to myself as I do most days...
"Self, what are you going to do today?"
I answered myself back with a mental list...
-Clean House
-Water Grass
-Wash Towels
-Clean my disaster of a kitchen
-Do laundry
-Clean Out Linen Closet
-P/U Kimi from Kindergarten Camp
-Return Items to Pamida
-Facebook
-Put Laundry Away
-Get Milk
-Figure Out What to do for Breakfast
The last one stumped me. You see we needed milk for cereal, (the only thing Rebekah EVER wants to eat) we needed milk for pancakes, (Justin's Fave) we needed milk for muffins, (my choice) we needed milk for just about anything and we had NO milk. So then I began to think through my day...
"Can I get the house cleaned in an hour and then get milk?" answer: No
"Can I make my children wait till 10 to eat?" answer: Everyone except Justin
"Can I make milk appear out of thin air?" answer: Shockingly No
You see my hands were tied. There was no choice. I had to. And I did. I went to the disaster of a kitchen and in front of my children with mouths wide open and eyes as big as saucers I cut four BIG slices of cake.
They looked at me.
They looked at the cake.
They looked back at me.
They looked back at the cake.
And then the reality that Mom had lost her mind set in. They had better eat it quick before she changes her mind!
So in 2.3 minutes a whole cake was polished off and I was cleaning my house. Good Times Had By All.

Hooray! That is great! I'd have made Cy hop on his bike and go get milk. But then, we don't have that big hill you have between us and "town"...
