Typical Morning

This morning I got up at 6:30. The first two grandchildren arrive at 6:45.  

I started breakfast orders, two pancakes on the griddle, one bowl of cereal, 1 regular scrambled egg and 3 scrambled eggs and toast for grampa. 

7:05 third grandchild arrives, orders eggs whites and toast.  First grandchild sneaks a snack cake to go with his scrambled eggs, I pour juices and milks. 

7:15 breakfast diner is complete. I start to scramble 2 yolks and an egg for Mimi's breakfast.   

7:30 we start to convince the younger generation to visit the potty before the bus comes. 

7:45 is when we head to the bus stop across the street from our house.  Grampa waits on the porch watching them while Mimi picks up the breakfast dishes. 

7:50 the kindergartener decides to jump over a block of air, trips and lands on his knee. His sister's watch thing calls Mimi and says he fell and there is blood everywhere. I grab a towel and slip on my slippers and run.  Grampa is carrying him across the street. 

7:52 the bus arrives and two get on the bus. 

7:53 I mop up the knee, it isn't too bad. Luckily I have a fancy large bandaid. I comb my hair and put on real shoes. I also grab my insulated bags and egg cartons. 

We drive to the elementary school on the other side of town and get in a long line of parents dropping off children.  Eventually it is our turn. The kindergartener enters school walking like he has a wooden leg. I am sure he will be the hit of the class room. 

8 am we head back to our side of town, turn south and take a long detour to the egg farm. 

8:30  we are packing up five dozen eggs, deciding if we want a peck of green beans (we didn't) and I bid on the silent auction for a JFK and Jackie Kennedy commemorative plate. The egg lady's granddaughter is raising money for her school.  

9:15 arrive home and wash dishes, then eggs. 

9:30 pour my first cup of coffee. 

9:35 find five minutes to write on my blog. 

I do try to visit everyone during the day, evening and night LOL.  HAPPY FALL
