This morning, Eric had to leave at 6:00 to make a meeting out of town. And, yes. That forced me to get dressed and take the girls to school on.my.day.off!
I wanted to complain about it at first, but then E woke up in such a giddy mood and crawled in bed with me. She is such a cheerful morning person which leaves me wondering how she could be the child birthed from my womb. Nothing could be further from the truth when describing my own demeanor in the mornings. Come to think of it, now I am also NOT a night person.
So, that still leaves me with 10:00 am in which I am a happy and loving being.
Sad part is ... my family rarely sees that.
They often hear, "Let's get to bed. Mommy's tired." Or, "don't talk so loud. Mommy just woke up and I'm still tired".
It's a joy to live with me.
This morning, E's mood was contagious. Or, at least to me. We drove to school singing "Open the Eyes of My Heart" LOUDLY. E was doing motions, I was singing, music was blaring and then I was reminded of the one who NO DOUBT is a part of me .... my sweet, O. I watched her from the rearview mirror and knew she was not pleased ... I knew this by her angry expression.
She confirmed it by shouting, "Would you please stop!? I DO NOT LIKE BEING IN THIS CAR RIGHT NOW!"
O isn't a morning person either.
And, maybe the newness of school is wearing off because she cried all morning and wanted me to hold her while I got dressed, made lunches and fed them.
Bless her heart. School is wearing her out. I was very tempted to keep her at home (remember, I never wanted her to go in the first place ;) But, when I suggested it, she did still want to go to school. I know I need to be careful about suggesting it in the future - she might just take me up on it.
So, I dropped them off and headed to the Promise Land.
Chick-fil-a .... oh, how I have missed our mornings together!
Being there made me think of you. I write often about my love for a chicken biscuit and large sweet tea. I wonder, do you love CFA as much as me? Do you go there for breakfast? What do you order? Let's hear it.....

We don't have CFA in these parts...but I have eaten there while traveling and love them. Love you blog...read it often. Enjoy your day off. I too am home alone for the moment and am almost giddy.
You are SO funny...and I LOVE to read your posts, as they ALWAYS crack me up!
Well..living in MN doesn't afford us the blessings of CFA...so I've never been there! (it's probably a good thing..right?) :-)
I would go daily if... #1 There was one close enough and #2 My waist could afford it!! I LOVE everything on their menu but breakfast fav would be the minis- they are so yummy! I'm glad that you are enjoying your day off. I know that you are busy but call me when you get a chance and have a few minutes. Miss you and love you!
Ok my favs at CFA....tea, chicken biscuit, chicken minis, chicken sand .. #1 with a tea please.... waffles fries.....peach milkshake brownie... mmm guess I like it ALL....but my fav of favs when I have been blessed with freebie CFA coupon....

My fav is a chicken biscuit with ketchup on it..... lol and a large 1/2 sweet 1/2 unsweet tea! Sorry Ladies but I really could not imagine living where there was no CFA???? Is that legal?

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, Chick-fil-A!
#1 combo with a Coke Zero! or chicken minis or a chicken bis. and I love their hash rounds! Oh my goodness - I need to go there. Can you believe I have a daughter who doesn't like it at all! I don't understand it - she can't me my daughter. I think it is a sin not to LOVE it~
I personally think its a sin not to like Chic Fil A.....I've met people like that and immediately start witnessing hard to win them over... Its all good!!! even the Holy Spirit resides there and you can't say that about just any restaurant, can you? I luv it almost as much as you do D. I have a sign on my cell phone of Chic Fil A and it is titled "Earth's Manna" Everybody knows if they let me pick the choice what mine will be so sometimes they don't let me :o( haha! IF I lived closer I'd be there almost as much as you! haha, looking forward to Sept. and Daniel...........praying for you and the schedule you are on and now be leading a bible study TOO! on top of being a SS teacher ! Dear Lord Breathe on HER !!!!
