My ideal breakfast is to sit down in a clean quiet house at either the counter or the dining table with a cup of coffee, a croissant and yogurt and a good book for 45 minutes and enjoy the quietness while the rest of the house sleeps. In order for any of that to happen I would have to be the last in bed at night to make sure that the house was clean. I would also have to be up by 4:45 in the morning. Being the last to bed and the first to get up just doesn't quite work out. It would give me about 5 hours of sleep 2 hours less than I actually need. What actually happens is John is up first getting ready for work while I lay in bed trying to eek out a few more minutes of sleep. Then before he leaves he gets Isaac up so he can take a shower. Then I get up, make some coffee, open the kennel door (the gets up a couple hours later) and grab my breakfast. I check email and make a list of things needed to be done during the day. Isaac comes downstairs, makes his own breakfast and lunch. He then brushes his teeth, checks his facebook and then corals all his school supplies. Finally Job and Lona get up. They stumble downstairs for a quick cuddle on the couch before Isaac has to catch the bus. Then Job and Lona have breakfast while I pick up coats, shoes, and blankets. Once breakfast, teeth have been brushed, rooms picked up, and chores down, we hit the books and power through school until lunch time. So that quiet clean house will wait and so will the ideal breakfast.
