Breakfast

I can never just jump out of bed in the morning. I always hit the snooze button at lease three times. The reason ... honestly, I think it's the fact that sleeping is the only real time I have to myself. I don't have to clean the house, do grocery shopping or tend to the family. It's the one chance I have to do NOTHING. Don't get me wrong, I do love my family ... VERY much. That's why I do all that I do ... to keep them happy.

So I get out of bed around 6:45, get dressed and then get the kids ready to go. We are a one car family so we have to take the daddy to work. As soon as I get home with the kids ... "Mommy, I'm hungry. What's for breakfast?" and "Mommy, can I watch cartoons?" and "Mommy, what are we going to do today? I'm bored already." I go into the kitchen to make breakfast for the kids ... it's a mess!

My thoughts? I had aerobics last night. I left right after dinner. Am I the only adult in the house? Why are all the dishes still in the sink? Why was the crock pot not cleaned out? How did this pot get dirty in the first place? What is this? I'm upset. I'm angry. Sometimes I feel like hubby thinks that because he works outside the home and I don't, that it's my j-o-b to take care of the house and everything/everyone in it ... and he doesn't have to lift a finger. So here I am, making breakfast in a dirty kitchen wishing I could switch places with hubby for just 24 hours. I'm pretty sure either him or the house would fall apart ... maybe even both.

For my angry, irritated low carb breakfast? I thought about eggs and ham but that would just make more dishes for me to clean. Instead, I have 1/4 cup honey roasted peanuts, 1/4 cup cashews, some beef jerky, a stick of string cheese and a Sprite Zero. What I really want ... popcorn, donuts, McDonald's, Sonic, etc.

While I'm typing this, I'm thinking I really need to clean the house. The crock pot still has all the juices in it from pork chops last night. I just really REALLY don't want to clean. I'd rather eat ... but I'm going to use all my power not to. I just hope it's enough.
