Yesterday, my son Ben, asked if he could have a pop tart for breakfast before school. In all my Mommy wisdom, I told him no - there isn't any real nutritional value in pop tarts - they are more for a snack - not for brain food before school. Then later in the day - he questions me again - wanting to know why pop tarts aren't good for breakfast. I explain to him again - that to get ready for school - he needs vitamins and some protein for his brain to work well for all the learning he has to do.
Ben poses the challenge regarding Toaster Struedels. That they have less frosting etc. I continue again that Ben can have pop tarts for a snack in the evening or after school and that Toaster Struedels aren't really any better.
Then we get home for the day. And I realize that Fluffy is in labor...it's late in the evening. I send the kids to bed - promising to wake them up if she begins to have puppies.
4:30 a.m. There are puppies. Wake up the children and we see more puppies - 5 in all. One was still born (More on the puppies later)...Kids have breakfast - and taken to school. My day at home continues to be busy. Haven't had any food yet - feeling a little low on energy and brain power...
So - I had pop tarts!!!
Don't tell Ben.
