Does anyone know why Mother's Day breakfasts become so much better as the children grow up? I do. When the kids are small you will get a breakfast that can be lethal in large portions. It includes coffee (or tea) with grounds floating in lukewarm fluid, presumably water, but it could be soda. Runny eggs with shells and a mound of salt accompany charcoal toast which is consumed as a poison control. Oatmeal-crete which is used to balance the tray on your lap, please don't eat this. Luckily there is a vase with a single flower present as well, this is delicious and can help sustain you until lunch.
The true purpose of the "early Mother's Day breakfast" is to toughen you for the latter years. After the cozy and cushy time of gestation, delivery and the terrible twos, you need to go to Mother's Day boot camp to prepare you for the TEENS. These early breakfasts help you to stomach the later years.
This Mother's Day I was served a perfect cup of coffee, followed by fluffy, bright yellow and flavorful scrambled eggs. These eggs were joined by a STACK!! of beautiful, light, golden and perfectly round pancakes...butter gently melting across the top. The sun was glowing through the window; the birds were twittering in the trees and I could smell the new rose blooms through the open window. + sigh +
Then in the distance I could hear, " ...my card first, I made the pancakes so I go first..." overlapping, " Oh I don't think so, eggs are harder to make." Followed by, " BITE ME !!, you never vacuum when mom asks so she doesn't love you as much as me", "oh yeah, well I always take out the garbage, you should be happy I don't take YOU TOO!!"... Ahhh, now that's why I need a more nutritious breakfast. This is REAL motherhood. It requires the wisdom of Solomon, the patience of Job and the first aid kit of a licensed paramedic. Hope your day was a great as mine was. Peace and love to you all.....
