I could not for the life of me get my camera set for any good images.
Here is my blurry backpack shot made at approximately 6:15.
Hey, it was still dark outside and my coffee wasn't kickin' yet.
I had an extremely well paced morning getting my three munchkins out the door for school today. They are at three different schools this year which means each one of them gets their own individual wake up call and time with me.
I wake one, get him gone, wake the next and get her gone, wake the next and get him gone.
Sure it means two and a half hours of my morning dedicated to this job; then again it is my JOB!!
It was a very enjoyable way to encourage each one to begin this school year.
I know rough mornings will come, but I will be able to deal with the drama one child at a time anyway!!
I was going to make chocolate chocolate chip cookies, but in my afternoon haste decided that brownies would be a more sensible use of my last hour before the first arrived home.
This is a King Arthur flour recipe that I clipped from the bag of flour, and it is a keeper!
Of course you know I used my organic cane sugar (thank you Costco for saving me money on this item and my friend Angela who drives me there!!) and half white wheat flour...of and dark chocolate chips, so they are practically healthy!!!
Healthy love that is!
I am sorry but nothing says I love you like the smell of warm chocolate when you walk in the door.
Am I right??? Well for this house that is true.
My oldest, knowing my homemade ways remarked that this looked like a boxed mix. He just knew that couldn't be the case, but must have been impressed at the similarity! Ha haha.
He already has his packed for his lunch box treat tomorrow!
I tried to meet each of my children coming home from school today outside...because standing in 100 degree heat says I love you like chocolate can't!
The last bus was 35 minutes late, but I was not giving up.
I did end up sitting down on the hike and bike path which intersects the road where the bus stops, and taking off a couple of pictures.
I sat until my hiney began to feel like it was going to catch on fire.....ahhhhh ha haha.
I wish I was joking, but it really was that hot!
Finally the bus pulled around and I was able to walk my last little darlin home!
Each of them gave me a hearty dose of the high points of their day and were in good spirits, even with the new strict after school schedule in place.
I bragged long and hard to their daddy at supper, making sure he knew how well they did.
He pulled back and gave me a crazy look at one point and remarked quickly to the children...
"Oh boy, watch out Mom is gonna start crying again!"
It could be because of my track record and that in the previous evenings prayer time I may or may not have had a little mommy crying time as I asked the Lord to be with our children and go before them in the steps they would take today.
I mean...one little thing and I get a reputation!!! seriously!
I am so stinkin' proud of my kids today!!!
I am proud of us as a family.
I am blessed.
I am about to fall asleep....ahhhh ha ha ha!
Day two tomorrow, and for me...the DMV!
