The Jennifer Blogs

My friend Robin posted a blog: "I love my husband, but ..." and challenged her readers to write an "I love my _____, but" blog also. So here it is.



I LOVE MY KIDS, BUT I REALLY NEED SOME TIME TO MYSELF.



Here's how my day typically starts: 

I wake up and quietly tiptoe to the kitchen to make an iced caramel non fat macchiato, but before I can even get a glass out of the cupboard, in skips my lovely, perky daughter, "Good morning, Mommy!" Then come the questions ... how are you this morning? Did you sleep well? Did you have a dream? Were you awake when Daddy left? What time did you get up? Do you want me to make you breakfast? Finally I answer her. "Yes, I want eggs. Pronto. And toast."

If I could just teach her how to make the coffee, I'd be set.



I'm homeschooling my son over the summer. Torture for us both, but it means he gets to make up a grade when we held him back a few years ago. So in the end, we all win. He wins cuz he gets to graduate sooner. We win cuz he gets a job and moves out sooner. See?



Don't get me wrong, I love my children. But a gift certificate to the spa would be nice. I'm wasting my breath writing that because my husband no longer reads my blogs. But if you see him, could you please tell him maybe I need a gift certificate to the spa?
