Hour 46 7:00 – 8:00 AM

Max is up – I run up and get him changed and dressed for church also.  Brooke is jumping around the room.  Max comes downstairs, and I start making his toast.  I turn around and he is drinking his milk by biting the cup and rearing his head back.  NO HANDS MA!  So now his pants are covered in milk.  I am starting to doubt the plan to get them in their church clothes first thing in the morning.

I hear the boys stirring…but I am trying to sneak in breakfast and review my lesson for Sunday School.  Today I am supposed to teach on the purposes of Christ’s miracles.  It’ll be a miracle if my lesson is longer than 5 minutes.  The 15 year olds I teach would be happy just talking and playing with my iPad. 

I am sitting at the table reading the lesson manual when Maisy hits a commercial break.  Brooke reacts by running through the dining room and slamming into the wall, flopping on the floor, and crying in protest.  Don’t exactly know what she had hoped to accomplish.  Max chooses instead to bring me the remote control.   Nice save - Crisis averted.

About 8 minutes later…Brooke runs over to the table where I am eating breakfast while reading my lesson and steals Max’s 2 pieces of turkey bacon.  I think there is an unwritten 30-minute rule between them.  Spoils of war…

4 minutes later Brooke again runs through the dining room, slams into the wall, and flops onto the floor.  This time with a piece of bacon in each hand.  I guess her mouth was too full to cry this time.  I go and fast forward Maisy again.  I am wondering who is training who now.

Alright – no messing around now – Gotta get the boys up and ready.

It’s Jimmertime.
