I'm Depriving My Kids

So, I know I'm not up for any "mom of the year" awards but, I thought I was doing a pretty good job until yesterday morning. I went downstairs to make breakfast and soon realized I was out of my usually nutritious and delicious breakfast of champions, Eggo waffles. So, it was on to plan B, cold cereal. Unfortunately, out of milk! CRAP! I have to admit, my first thought was, if we hurry we can make it to McDonald's before school! but, you'll be happy to know that I decided on scrambled eggs and toast.

So here is were the "deprivation" part comes in. Tiff comes in the kitchen, "Who are those for? Are they for us? "(at this point she is getting a little excited). I say ,"yes". Tiff, "why?" She doesn't wait for a response. Instead, she runs to tell Nicole. Tiffany, "mom is making us scrambled eggs!" Nicole, "she is"? At this point Nicole comes in the kitchen and starts asking A MILLION questions about WHY am I making eggs (if you know Nicole, you know what I'm talking about). I'm not quite sure what she was asking or even what I was saying in response but I do remember that her last question to me was, " are you going to plant a garden now"?

Oh my poor, deprived children. All they want in life are scrambled eggs for breakfast, and a garden! The eggs I can do. As for the garden, come on, do I look like someone who likes to garden?
