Praying it is truly Spring now. Hopefully, no more snow.
Breakfast: I just had to write about breakfast this morning. We had oatmeal. Not the healthy kind. This is usually my last resort when I've needed to go shopping for several days and I've been putting it off until just about everything is gone.
The kids love oatmeal, however. They like the fruit kind the best. When I was growing up, I liked the cinnamon, apples, brown sugar variety better. So, I laid out 7 bowls asked everyone for their requests, boiled the water and started tearing open packages. Morgan wanted banana, I chose banana for Tristan as well. Kael wanted blueberry, Will wanted peach, Rachie wanted strawberry, Ryan wanted peach and so did Glen. As soon as I had the last child served the first child asked for seconds and of course everyone wanted something different the second time around. Usually, this is all a big mess, but it wasn't too bad this morning. I just stood at the counter and watched and served.
I laid out all the cups, some wanted juice and some wanted milk. We had just enough left of both. Everyone was happy, everyone got full. It was a very successful breakfast. I still haven't eaten though because my gallbladder hates me right now. I ate right before bed last night. I should know that that is a VERY bad idea.
