We are having flooring work done at home today & tomorrow, and they will be taking up the carpet in the living room. On an unrelated note, No. 3 asked me last night if I would fix decaf coffee for them this morning, and I agreed. (Who knew — they all like coffee!) So, as a special treat (just because we could), we decided to sit in the living room and drink our coffee on the old carpet (a big no-no, normally!). It was quite a hoot, and we felt luxurious sipping our coffee mugs on the floor.

Nos. 1 & 2 had already finished breakfast, and they left for the bus shortly, as usual. The other three got their backpacks ready and went off to a bedroom to play video games before time to go to school. We completely forgot to eat breakfast!! No one reminded me, and I had already eaten with Nos. 1 & 2, so I didn’t think about it.

I can just hear them when they realize later that they are hungry, then tell their teachers that I didn’t feed them this morning. Oh, dear! Haha! Oh, well – I guess the decaf was their breakfast, and they won’t starve before lunch. I know that some people seldom eat breakfast, but I’m not one to skip a meal (the scale can attest to that!), so it’s a foreign idea to me to go without breakfast.
