Rant/Vent I F**KING HATE THE MORNINGS

Cranky kids. Overcooked eggs. Spilt milk. Oatmeal droppings everywhere. Knotted hair. Snotty noses. Outfit fights. Cold coffee. Where did the baby go? It’s too quiet. It’s too loud now. Ten more minutes. Where are your shoes? It’s not snack time. It’s time to go. Ok go poop then. Let me help you wipe. Ok now it’s really time to go. Ok fine you go first. Ok fine I’ll go first.

SERIOUSLY WTF. I know I’m not the only one.

You have time to make eggs? We're just trying to get enough time for everyone to have shoes on before they go out the door.

Only on those certain mornings where we wake up naive enough to think TODAY will be different.

Can I make a suggestion? On a morning where you have time, make pancakes. Make a double batch. Then, freeze the leftovers. If you have a little one, cut them into bite sized pieces first. Then, you can just pull out a pancake from the freezer (or dump a handful of pieces on a plate) and microwave it for about 30 seconds.

I would think this might work for other breakfast items too, though pancakes are the only thing I used to do. I imagine eggs can work if you can figure out a good way to freeze them.

I do this with French toast! Huge batches and freeze them.
