Only cause its Friday

So this morning, I woke up early and made waffles and bacon for breakfast. Cammy was thrilled. She helped me stir the batter and brush the oil on my waffle iron. She poured her own pineapple juice. We sat down the three of us while Bri was still sleeping and ate breakfast.  It was nice – and the whole reason why I decided to wake up early. I know now why June Cleaver was up so damn early every morning. Cause you can’t get breakfast made if you aren’t up before six, you just can’t do it, and no dry cereal doesn’t count.Jerry said he would have killed when he was a kid to get freshly made waffles in the morning before school. I said, chances are she won’t think its special that she gets waffles in the morning until she has a kid to make waffles for. Or maybe I don’t give my kid enough credit. Cause I knew ,before I had Cam, that all the stuff my mom did with us and for us was special. So maybe she’ll know waffles are special. I made one for my granny when she came in to keep Bria today, and she was glad to have breakfast too. She said “Hot waffles! You can’t even get hot waffles in the restaurants, they’re always cold by the time they get it to your table.”  So that always makes me feel good about the extra effort to take care of them. It makes for a better day for all of us, we tend to get out the door faster with less rush as well, and Cammy seems happier when we are dropping her off at school. Jerry seems happy that we fit the family Rockwell picture image for about thirty seconds, and I get to cook.

I’m making a few Christmas presents for some people who if I had to buy gifts for probably wouldn’t be getting a thing. But I like to make presents. And I hope that this is something I can get Cammy interested in.

• Hey internets – remind me to discuss the grand dilemma of parenting without making your kids social pariah.

And here dear internets is today’s grand Christmas quote – one for Jerry and one for me, in honor of the Christmas stuff I have planned for the weekend.

Lois GriffinFamily Guy) You all think Christmas just happens. You think all this goodwill just falls from the freakin’ sky. Well, it doesn’t! It falls out of my holly jolly butt! So you can cook your own damn turkey. Wrap your own damn presents. And hey, while you’re at it, you can all ride a one horse open sleigh to hell!

Peter Griffin: (Family Guy) Christmas is the time of year when the ghost of Jesus rises from the grave to feast on the flesh of the living and we sing Christmas carols to lull him back to sleep.

 Classic..

That is all dear internets.. that is all, and a fa la la la la to you too…
