what a wonderful morning this has been.....i fixed pancakes for breakfast and bacon----none of it burnt, (this is a "first" for me), and milk and the boys loved it.........i put a little bit of sugar=free syrup on the pancakes so the syrup wold not be drippy and they would be able to keep their clothes clean......i was running a bit late, so while i was cooking the bacon, and after i felt the smell had had time to waft its way into the boys room and rouse them a bit, i began my "wake-up" song, "Rise and Shine and Give God the Glory, Glory" , and the boys slowly got out of bed and did their "3 d's" (deodorant, dress, dental--brush and floss teeth).....then we sat down for breakfast and they loved it....then Michael took the boys to school...... he is going to go to work again today...today is Brendan's first a"Tiger Tunes" practice after school, so i will go pick up Aidan and Michael jr. at the bus stop and then drive to school to pick up Brendan.......this is a great accomplishment for Brendan to be in "Tiger Tunes",.,.....this is a special group of about twenty children in 4th and 5th grade.......he is so happy to be included in this choir and i am excited about being able to watch him perform.....his brothers are so proud of him too.......regarding the clorox wipes: i actually never stopped using them, but wanted it to appear to you, my readers, that there was more to my life than clorox wipes, however, my real belief is that a life sans clorox wipes is a life unfulfilled.....the kitchen is clean and the place has been clorox wiped....love thos clorox wipes.......today is the first day of my Bible study at First Christian Church and i am pumped about that.....i will post when i return......i need to go get ready to leave right now......will post more when i return.....love to all who are reading.....and, of course, those who are not reading, i just wish you were reading.......jk
