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.
