One Saturday Morning

you know you're off to a good start when...

6:45am- your husband leaves for work...on a Saturday
7:00am- your wee 22month old wakes up from her slumber, and in turn-your slumber, screaming for you to get her DOWN!
7:15am- while reaching for cereal, you knock an entire container of basmati rice off the shelf
7:15am-7:30am- you and your wee 22month old sweep and clean as many of the million grains of rice off the kitchen floor as possible.
(you might be faster if you weren't working with a wee 22month old and if you had yet eaten or had coffee, but no such luck.)
7:35- wee 22month old knocks a frame off the wall with the broom and is devastated by her lack of major motor skills
7:40am-wee 22month old tries to help carry her cereal bowl across kitchen, but, alas most of the contents end up on the newly cleaned kitchen floor
7:45am- wee 22month old takes her shirt off- (a true sign of being overwhelmed) exclaims, "whoa mama!" and lies down on sticky, rice laden kitchen floor for the following 15 minutes.
