Holiday Vacation is over, Back to norm now!

Morning starts early Monday - Friday. Hubby stayed up late watching movies on the movie channels, I myself went to bed watching the planet earth specials on the discovery channel and was drawn in. We are way off schedule.
I usually prepare the coffee maker, his lunch milk, his break time cereal, his lunch tea, and a banana the night before. I also put together stuff such as cottage cheese, carrot & celery sticks things of that nature.

In the morning I get up at 4:30 start the coffee maker, get the ice packs in his lunch pail, start packing it while getting breakfast started. Every work morning I serve him fresh squeezed grapefruit juice, now and then it is orange juice. Since he went to bed so late I knew he would rather sleep than eat a hardy breakfast so I prepared a bagel from Panera bread with cream cheese, grapefruit juice & coffee. He totes 2 small coffee thermos to work with him as well. On a routine work morning I serve him in bed at 5 am. A breakfast tray of fresh fruit of some sort. This week we have kiwi, oranges, mango, & apples. But sometimes he gets peaches, grapes, berries of all sorts, melon, I buy seasonal items as much as possible. Along with that depending on how much time I have;

poached eggs, scrambled, omelet, french toast, or over easy
ham, sausage, or bacon
toast, bagel, biscuit, pancakes, oatmeal, waffles or hash browns
milk, cheese sticks, yogurt or cottage cheese

Keep in mind I balance his breakfast, on the other hand My son needs breakfast too. I have been accused of cooking him too much and trying to fatten him up. He could be right but I like to offer him choices and I know he works very hard all day laboring. He turned 49 on the 9th of Dec. so he his no spring chick & I have a need to keep him as healthy as possible. He works for GM and is responsible for 14 people, don't get me wrong he works the line as well.

I do this because I love him and want him to feel worthy, needed, wanted, special, I like to king him. I constantly ask him if there is something I can get or do for him. The other times I say "how can I help you this morn, or today"

I also start his shower, get him a towel, set out his underwear & socks. Get his cell phone, glasses, work keys, and truck keys together. At times he lets me pick out his wardrobe, a lot of the time I drive him to work and at this time of year if we are parked in the drive I warm the truck.

anyway that is that start of my weekdays and he is worth it.
