1. TDHD dumping out toy bins at 6:00 am so that I can’t even walk down the hall to their rooms.
I spy a grey plastic screw, two orange blocks and a bic pen.
2. TDHD playing trains at 6:30 am as they listen to Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi in French with English subtitles.
Vader: Luke, Je suis ton père. Luke: Non! C'est impossible!
3. The knowledge at 7:00 am that markers will never be safe in our house so long as there’s Captain Crunch and milk around.
4. The worry at 7:30 am that I’ll never actually be allowed to take a two second bathroom break without coming back to find a kid covered in flour and sugar while giving a deep tissue massage to a bowl of rice.
Which is usually why I load up TDHD at 8:00 am to go get one of these.
$1.05 worth of sanity on the rocks.
Bless you Freeport Chevron for having a drive-thru and free kids suckers.
By 8:30 am it’s time to get going on the day. There’s jobs to do and errands to run and a whole slew of previously clean surfaces to mess with.
Have a great morning.
