Here’s our standard morning routine.<\/p>\n
Leina wakes up anytime between 6:45 andf 7:20am. When she does, Kevin takes her downstairs and gives her a cup of milk and they sit together on the sofa watching PBS or a DVD for a while. At 7:30, I lumber out of bed and head downstairs to take over while Kevin eats his cereal and heads up to the bedroom to bath and get ready to head to work. Usually, while he’s leaving for the day, Munchie and I are just starting our breakfast routine. This all works out wonderfully. Kevin gets precious snuggle time and I get an extra couple of minutes of shut eye.<\/p>\n
Of course, all this changes when Kevin is on swing.<\/p>\n
Now, he gets home anytime between midnight and 1am so when the Munchkin starts calling “UPUPUPUPUPUP!!!!!” from her room, we’ll switch off who needs to get her. If Kevin goes, he’ll snuggle on the sofa, half asleep, until I get down there and then I send him back to bed for another couple of hours. But lately, he’s been too tired to be roused even for Munchie snuggles so I’ve been taking over in the morning.<\/p>\n
The other day, while Kevin slept and Leina fed herself and dolly, I made Kevin breakfast. This consisted of scrambled eggs with melted cheddar cheese, southern style hashbrowns, three strips of crispy bacon and freshly butted wheat toast finished with a big glass of milk. When Kev managed to get downstairs, lulled by the smell of the food, he was estatic.<\/p>\n
That night he got home from work early at 11pm so the next morning, he rolled out of bed to get Munchie. I slept in till after 8am and when I awoke, I was hungry.<\/p>\n
“I wonder what goodies Kevin has for me…” I mused as I trapsed down the stairs.<\/p>\n
Imagine my surprise when I rounded the corner to the kitchen to find empty counters and no delicious morning smells.<\/p>\n
“Hey Kev,” I cried in dismay, “where’s my breakfast?!?!”<\/p>\n
Kevin looked up from the paper and reached over the table.<\/p>\n
“Here’s your breakfast, hon!” he exclaimed as he tossed me an unopened package of instant oatmeal.<\/p>\n
Where’s the love, I ask you?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
