This Morning

Today started at 9:11 am. Late I know. My alarm did not go off or maybe I was just sleeping so well on the guest bed with Joshua because he decided to get up at 3:00am.

School starts at 9:00am. Yes my kids were late to school this morning. As we are getting ready Marysa sees the calendar on the fridge and says Thanksgiving is on the 26th of November.

I reply why yes it is.

Marysa well are we going to go to Grandma Cameron's for Thanksgiving?

I reply I don't know.

With desperation in her voice she replies but You don't know how to cook a turkey.

I reply I know how

Marysa: Oh

So already today my cooking skills are question.

We live maybe 200 yards from the school. Marysa does not like to go to school late she does not like everyone staring at her when she walks in late. I really just wanted them to walk to school like they always do. However Marysa would not go unless I walked down with her.

It is a cold morning and I did not feel (lazy) like walking in the cold with 4 kids 200 yards to the school. So I load the kids in the car which we are not driving because the registration has not renewed. SO Andrew had the van, because I was not going to "need" it today. Anyways I had to move the fence over so we could back out the car so I could take them to school. I tried and tried and I could not get that fence to move.

Caleb ask mom I will try and open it.


I reply well I think it is stuck because of the cold weather.

Caleb: I will try anyway.

Guess what he opened it up like it was the easiest thing in the world to open. So now my 9 year old proves to me he is stronger than me. I knew one day my boys would become stronger than me but at 9 come on. His feet are already bigger than mine and he is only about 5 inches shorter than I am.

I should look on the bright side and realize I have another strong man in my life to look out for me.

I just realized that I did not give them lunch money so I need to once again get in the expired car, because it is too cold (lazy) and take the lunch money to my kids.

Maybe this time I will put a bra on.
