Things heard in my house this morning…..
1. An annoying alarm clock going off extra early followed by my husband cussing and dumbfounded because he can’t remember why it is going off so early and he is still half asleep and can’t figure out how to turn it off.
2. Screech….eeeek…screech….followed by a really loud “Crap” and a “Sorry” from my husband. That’s when I remembered today was “Blues” Monday and the loud pitch sound that reminded me of nails on a chalk board was just our ironing board being opened so that my husband could iron his dress uniform. The “Crap” and the “Sorry” were because he knew he was unintentionally waking up the boy.
3. Stomp, stomp, stomp…..Mommy!!!!! Where are you? What was that loud noise? Are we getting a storm? – Needless to say…the boy is awake and it is earlier than he normally gets up. So….mommy is up now too.
4. “Uh Oh – I guess I was supposed to put the icing on after the cinnamon rolls came out of the oven.” See in my attempt to be a domestic goddess this morning, I decided to make breakfast for my family since everyone was officially up at the crack of dawn. Still half asleep, I didn’t really read the directions and placed the cinnamon rolls in the oven with the icing already on them. It melted down into the pan and stuck to the bottom. That poor pan is soaking in water now because I fear the icing will never come off. The cinnamon rolls were still good though. Lesson learned….don’t cook while still half asleep.
5. Connor: Um…Mommy!!! Is today morning?
Me: Yes Connor
Connor: Um…why aren’t there any cartoons then?
Me: It is really really early in the morning; your normal cartoons haven’t come on yet.
Connor: Can I have not normal cartoons?
Me: Um…let me see.
6. Mommy…my cinnamon roll doesn’t have icing. Did you give my icing to Daddy?
7. Mommy…can I have a beer with my cinnamon roll…you know the ones in the bottle that I like. He was referring to root beer but it threw me off guard for a second. Then the mommy in me kicked in and said “Absolutely…..NOT! You are drinking milk with your breakfast.”
8. As I am taking my shower and trying to rinse the soap out of my hair….Bang Bang Bang….Mommy!!!! The wind is really blowing outside; I think we need to watch the weather channel. (It made me smile - he is my little meteorologist in the making...well actually he just doesn’t like storms)
9. Mommy...since I already had breakfast and you didn’t give me any icing on my cinnamon roll….can I have some ice cream?
10. If I can’t have ice cream… can I have my beer now?
This was just a somewhat normal morning in our household. Looking back on the first few hours of the day, it made me smile.
Anything crazy or funny heard in your house this morning?
