Breakfast Dishes

Do you ever have on those day? You have just come back from vacation and it's the first day back to "reality." And nothing seems to go right! You don't feel like doing the morning dishes, and if you watch one more Mickey Mouse Club or Little Einstein's you might go crazy. By lunchtime you don't know what to make and nothing sounds good and the morning dishes still haven't been done. You go into the family room and somehow the ALL the toys in the toy box are ALL over the family room. In the living room ALL trains and train sets are ALL over the ground too! All you want to do is to have 2 minutes of unconsciousness. But wait, lunch is almost over and then it's nap time! Yeah!! A little peace. But no, one won't go down and you don't have energy to fight it today. So you have one up and one down. Then, just like it always is, when the one does go down, the other one gets up!
So now, the toys have been picked up but the dishes still aren't done. And you wonder what to cook for dinner. Something easy. Something to ease you into the week. Spaghetti! That's easy and a crowd pleaser! So while all the toys are being dumped, again, ALL over the HOUSE, you start on dinner. You call him and ask him to pick up some bread...because you always need bread with spaghetti, right? So he comes homes and everything is almost done...where's the sauce? No SAUCE!! Making homemade sauce is not the way to ease into the week! So he goes back to the store! Meanwhile dinner is now late and while he takes one with him - the other one is screaming! Then he comes homes you and you all eat dinner. It's cold but still a hit.
Then there are those dishes to do! You want to tackle them while he starts the baths. But as you do so...you hear a BANG, BANG, BANG, upstairs. As you run up the stairs all you can imagine is that someone has drowned. You walk into the bathroom and you see him holding one and the other standing in the tub. What's wrong you ask? One "went" in the tub! So you wash out the tub while the other is freezing. Then back to the dishes...then the ever-dreaded bedtime routine....then you try to finish the bookclub book that you never even start until two days before!! And then bed! Hallelujah bed! Well, until 3:30 in the morning! But then bed again!

You wake up the next day and decide today will be different! You get up. Get ready. Put on some make-up and at least blow dry the hair. And today will be different because...the breakfast dishes are already done!
