I completely escaped the whole 'breakfast in bed for Mom on Mother's Day' experience today. Due to crazy sport schedules, and late nights that led to sleepovers, I only have one snuggly bug 5 year old this morning. He's happy to have cheerios and watch cartoons, and let me snuggle with him. Ahhh, this is bliss.
I'm so glad that I don't have to endure the whole giant, crummy, bad coffee and eternal waiting breakfast in bed this year. I'm just not a good enough actress to pull that off. I tried last year, and the kids thought I didn't like the blueberry pancakes (which, I didn't, I have NEVER liked blueberry pancakes), but that wasn't the reason for my acting job. I just don't like pretending to enjoy a giant breakfast that is making my bed crummy and sticky. I'm a coffee for breakfast kind of girl. And then breakfast, maybe at 10 am, and that would be some oatmeal or a simple bowl of cereal.
I hope you are having a wonderful mother's day, whatever you are doing today!
