SARAH, IT'S MORNING TIME AND I WANT SOME CEREAL!!! ~ Jonah Hawkinson @ a little before 6 am...
and this is before I am even out of bed, let alone hooked up to my IV drip of very strong coffee.
Good thing these kids have smiles that can thaw my ice cold heart.
I got the damn cereal. Even before my coffee. How deep is my love, I know.
And I now know why I see some moms at Jewel with dried Fruit Loops in their greasy hair. Because that was me, today, at the jungle gym down the street. I thought about taking a picture of the fruit loop I pulled out of my almost dreadlocked coif, but I thought, "hell no, I have a little dignity left" so I just ate it. And then I remembered that I didn't have Fruit Loops for breakfast.
I managed to get the girls off to school, J-money to the jungle gym to burn off some energy, lunch, nap (to which he informed me: "Aunt Sarah, please do not wake me up today" and I felt like saying, "Deal- if you promise not to holler for cereal tomorrow morning, buddy"), girls home from school, a nice family game of tag, dinner (spaghetti is hard to screw up, especially when your sister already makes the meat sauce for you ahead of time), baths (ALL THREE KIDS!), a few episodes of Diego (although the "Road Runner" episode before bed was a bad call on my part), and lights out.
In the words of Ice Cube: Today I didn't even have to use my A-K....I gotta say it was a good day.
Tomorrow: Zoo Antics (and hopefully some pictures)

Success! See, you'll do great as a mom. I do wear cereal in my hair often and sometimes little boy boogers (eeek). Have fun at the zoo. Got your blog commend and no advice other than don't over stay to where you end up with meltdowns and feed everyone often so no one cries from hunger and scares the monkeys! Yes, it's just before 6am and I'm up feeding my wild monkeys cereal. Wonder if you're doing the same ;)
Miss you too =)
