Note to Self: I am A Big Girl

Okay, so I am cleaning the kitchen from dinner (yes, I realize it is 9:30 in the morning and this meal happened last night and that my Monkeys had a picnic breakfast because of this) and preparing for a weekend scrapbooking trip (yes, scrapbooking- but my intense dislike of this hobby is a whole other post). We did the whole"'breakfast for dinner" thing. Not my favorite, and requires some intense scrubbing of dried up pancake batter from the countertop (I know, I know....if I had just done this last night....blah blah blah...). On the upside though: bacon. I love bacon. Love. Bacon. Once I even got it for my birthday. True story.

So I am cleaning up last night's laziness and attempting to figure out where and when I will be meeting the friend I am going on this trip with. It is a lot of back and forth with times and places, as I am being delivered via Husband UPS to our meeting point and said Husband must then race back in time to get the eldest Monkey from school. We have it down to a half an hour difference in possible times for the exchange of me from one vehicle to the other. Damn. This just isn't gonna work. And it just hit me. I am a grown-ass woman. Guess what I am allowed to do? That's right- sit in a restaurant and have a cup of coffee and wait. All by myself.

Duh.

There is no need for direct vehicle-to-vehicle delivery.

Does anyone know if it is safe to eat day-old floor bacon?

Too late.....

  1. Yes, sit and wait with some coffee. All. By. Yourself. Sounds glorious.

  2. It was absolutely glorious. And very hobo-esque as I had all of my bags for the weekend strewn about me.

  3. Both of mine are in preschool and are out of the house for 2 hours in the morning. During that time I try to get laundry done and go to the grocery and dust and clean the floors and wipe down the bathrooms....you get the idea. Just the other day, it hit me: I don't have to do that. I could sit in front of the tv, watch Ellen, and drink my coffee in peace. What a revelation!!! As you both said, "GLORIOUS" KKeyes
