So I tried......

So here is my story for today.

As most of you know I am not a morning person. So me trying to be a better mom. I go to Wal-Mart and buy the Jiff muffin mixes. This is my way of being a good mom. Make something hot with lots of sugar instead of something cold with milk and more sugar. So I get up earlier than I usually do mix the muffins and bake them. All with about 3 min to spare before they have to head of to school. I am thinking wow I have time to spare. They can actually eat it at the bar rather than walking and eating on the way to school. For me this is a perk. As I am pulling the muffins out of the oven my kids tell me they don't want those they just want cold cereal. Do they understand I had to get up 15 min earlier than normal to mix these hello. So I am just going to be the mom who feeds them the cold cereal. And who rolls out of bed long enough to make sure they had something to eat and thier hair combed and teeth brushed. No more hot muffins for them. Okay so maybe I will try in a while.

It's hard not to feel mad and eat all the muffins after the kids walk out the door with lots of butter just to make yourself feel better for getting up so early. If it makes you feel better my kids have cold cereal everymorning. I've done oatmeal a few times but they complain. Spoiled huh.

My kids eat cold cereal most of the time too. When Clayton asks for hot oatmeal and toast - it seems like such a pain! You had good intentions - I haven't been that ambitious yet!
