Peaceful Saturday Morning??

Well it is Saturday morning and this was always a great time for me. My husband and I had finally reached the age where we could get up when we wanted to on Saturday and if we wanted breakfast we would get dressed at a leisurely pace and go out for breakfast. It was our treat to ourselves for surviving the hectic week. Well, that has all changed. We now are living with our daughters and there are 5 children (you heard me right 5) living in the house with us so now my husband is downstairs making pancakes for the entire clan. So there goes the peaceful Saturday morning breakfast for us. Our three grandchildren are really no problem. They sit and eat pancakes until they are about ready to explode. But then there is the 3 year old living in the house with us. His Mother has created a monster out of him. So mealtime with him is a constant battle to keep him eating and not playing. Well, there goes the peaceful Saturday breakfast out.

So ehm... your daughters are not the ones having the tantrums and such? Funny... Jill was like that when she was here. We had the whole of The Hague rolling their eyes at us... ;-)

Shh Yvonne...don't tell the "mother" about my European adventures. I have her convinced that all I do is innocently shop for purses!! ;)

I couldn't imagine having to live with all that drama... How on Earth you put up with Jill is beyond me ;) I'm kidding. But yes, you two should be enjoying each and every day and being able to relax as much as you want.

Well actually it is sometimes one of my daughters that is throwing the temper fits but I won't say which one she shall remain nameless but lets just say it isn't Jill. Opps guess I gave it away
