Where to begin? For me, it was breakfast. I’ve check out the cookbook Gale’s Brunches no less than 3 times from the library and couldn’t find a reason to make chocolate waffles…until now. So the menu read as follows…
Chocolate waffles topped with vanilla yogurt and strawberry freezer jam accompanied by a Clementine Izzy’s beverage in a fancy cup with a fun straw. Forgive my ignorance…is Izzy’s technically a soda? It’s mostly fruit juice, but carbonated none the less. Oh, well…what’s done is done.
The differences in my children were radiating…Shannon = ate her entire waffle, and then some…but stated that the juice was too spicy and barely touched it. Adam = started drinking and didn’t not remove the straw from his lips until ever last drop was in his round belly…then ate 2 bites of his waffle.
The rest of the day was routine,..until I told the kids we were heading to Target for some errands. Yes, we went to Target, but then to Steak N Shake for dinner.
In writing this post I now realize that too much of our lives revolve around food. But, in my defense, we rarely go out to eat so it did make the day more memorable.
*please note the first reason we do not eat out often is for financial reason. However, a close second is Adam's behavior. Steak N Shake was almost to fancy for him. To be embarrassed in a Steak N Shake...a new low.
Steve purchased each of us a card. My card read as follows...
I got a gift
something ever so small
it's just what you wanted
...with a return receipt for a pair of earrings. When I looked him square in the eyes that morning, he knew I meant it when I said, "No spending money!" Apparently Steve was the first person ever to enter a jewelry store on Valentines Day to make a return.
Have we ever been normal?

I love Steak'n Shake! I never tell John not to get me anything b/c he might just listen. I usually say something like "You have a gift waiting for you" so he knows to avoid an awkward moment.
I miss you guys!!! I can't say anything else!
