What you think does matter

My Plans Fall APART..... You, you try to do your best. Make sure you give your family some “Good Quality Time”. You know, as a parent you plan a trip, an outing, a special Barbeque… that’s right, I barbeque… But this weekend, no amount of planning was going to work out as planned. The Canopy was up, the grill was out, the lawn mowed, the pool cleaned and the kids…. Well sleepy and tired. But my plans would go on. I prepared the meat, seasoned it, got the rice - “ FIRST TIME I COOKED RICE ”…. the corn, the green beans, lettuce you name it I had it. I had four cups of coffee before 10 am and still had to keep going to make my plans a success...... That’s when it fell apart: The kids woke up late, the wife didn’t want to get in the pool, and clouds rolled over head. Great - the rain was coming. To make it worst, Flor, Magda’s baby cousin had to go home by two - no one told me…. So I had to put the grill away cause it might rain, while I took the drive into town to take her home by 2 pm. ....

As usual this summer, my kids woke up and started arguing about something or other. Sometimes I have to ignore them or I really think they will drive me mad. But today is a special day ... Why? Because my little girl wants to make breakfast ! Yea.. I think.... She gets upset with me because I tell her she has to make breakfast for Isaac too. Oh boy, this should be interesting. Well at least their working together, even if Isaac is getting in the way. It's cute to watch them make breakfast. The only sad thing is, yea I like the fact that she is learning how to take care of herself - but that also means my little girl is growing up...... I wonder if she knows how to cook beacon ? ? ? ? ?
