Potato Chips and Ipods and No Rhythm

 I wrote this all up last night and pushed Publish at the same time as my Internet went out - so this is my post for yesterday ☺
Today I attempted and succeeded at the unheard of for me - I awoke before the Children ☺
 By 8 am I was showered and dressed and getting ready to go out and enjoy a cup of coffee before the kids
started appearing when there was a knock on my bedroom door ... Yup the kids were up and ready for the day.
I am trying to convince myself that tomorrow I should try to wake up even earlier - I am starting to think something is seriously wrong with me. ☺
 Potato chips - a rare treat around the house but I specifically bought them this week for double purpose this week - for a side for the Sloppy Joes and to top the Tuna casserole with. I bought a special kind to give " great flavor " to the casserole - Parmesan & Garlic ☺ and then I bought plain chips also - a lil side note I love plain chips ♥ - those were for this weekend. Anyways - Yesterday was Sloppy Joe night so we opened the " great flavor " chips and enjoyed them immensely and proceeded to leave them on the kitchen table.
 This morning as I was pouring my cup of coffee with all the kids present , my littlest Blessing AKA Malachi decided that Chips were his choice of a Great Breakfast and proceeded to Dump the Bag of them on the floor - Good Bye " great flavor " chips for the casserole. ( good thing I bought the extra bag of chips )
 Potato chips are the same as fried Potatoes Right ???
I was telling Gabriel what happened and I said the little boys dumped the chips - Poor Jedidiah decided to set the story straight " It was not Me's Mama it was Malachi .. Not Me's " - my poor little victim - another side note Jedidiah is usually to blame ☺
I am attempting to tackle things I have been procrastinating on for Far Too Long so today I was in the Proper Cleaning attire - Overalls and a Bandana tied around my hair - even if I got Nothing done I still looked like I was on a Mission ☺
 I decided to put my Ipod on shuffle to help encourage me (and to drown out the sound of whining and fighting ) and let me tell you My Ipod on shuffle is FUNNY ☺  It would play a nice Mellow worship song and then switch to a Broadway song to a Veggie tale song only to be followed by Loud Christian Rock all rounded out by some Country tunes ☺ it all kept me moving ☺
Justin worked late so he missed the casserole made with "plain" chips which also means he missed the whole Eat Your Dinner or Go To Bed battle with Jedidiah - probably good on Jedidiah's behalf because if Justin had been home he really would have been in bed.  I did finally get him to eat three bites but he had No Interest in eating. Thankfully the older kids each had thirds and Malachi had seconds so I knew it wasn't my cooking ☺
 ** Way off subject ** My niece wrote and told me about a Musical she heard that was having Auditions and she knew I had the soundtrack memorized - Oh how I wish I did not live an hour away from the location .. sigh ..  But then again I have NO Rhythm and Cannot dance so I probably would not have gotten far .. But One can dream ♥
Well my ambitious morning is catching up with me .. Wish me luck for Tomorrow Morning ☺
