Mr. MOM

So, Mom leaves town on business. I become Mr. Mom.

Veggies? Fruits? A balanced diet? Hey, that's when mom is in town. Fast food? Who has time to cook. That home made mac-'n-cheese mommy made? Well, it will always be there for the next meal.

When mom leaves town, the alarm clock rudely wakes me up at 5:45am. Why get up so early? To prepare a wonderful breakfast for the kids! The meal that breaks the fast - of course. It is simple - Pop in those frozen waffles in the toaster, put some syrup and some whipped cream on it - (yeah, did I mention whipped cream? ... the kids love it!), and did I mention milk? Chocolate milk that is. Speaking of Chocolate... I have come to the conclusion that Chocolate is either a fruit or a vegetable. Seriously, why even bother analyzing this important stuff. After all my son explained it to us once that "Chocolate is on tippy-top of the of the food pyramid". He is such a smart boy! It sure helps that our kids make their own beds in the morning (house rules, you know!).

Ahh the evening... Violin lessons, swimming lessons, homework, baths, reading time, and lights out for the kids by 7:45pm!

This is life for Mr. Mom. But, we are always happy when mommy comes home!
