The Mornings

Remember when I said the kids were ruining my mornings?  Well, they're still ruining my mornings.  Today, they got up at 5:15.

"I'm not getting you anything until 6:00," I said firmly, as they tromped down the stairs. "Watch TV."

As soon as the clock hit the zeroes, Mac requested pancakes.  "It's six!" he announced gleefully.

Maybe I can move my morning routine to the attic where there's a door that locks.
