It's 9 in the morning and I sit down at the kitchen table with my cup of coffee and a cookie. I've been up for five minutes. Cari is sitting across from me and makes a remark about my breakfast choice.I tell her that I was going to get a poptart but the cookie was easier because I didn't want to wait on the toaster. I still haven't taken a bite of the cookie when she suggests I get a bowl of cereal for breakfast.
I sip my coffee and stare at her. She's waiting for my response and I say, "That would take too much effort."
"What, to lift a spoon to your mouth?"
I felt a need to defend myself after that attack and ended the conversation by saying, "I would have to get a bowl, pour the cereal in, then some milk, and then yes, I would have to lift the spoon to my mouth. Like I said, too much effort."
I ate the cookie.

Tip: If you make the coffee nice and strong, then you will have more energy to lift the spoon to your mouth. Also, I'm sure your kids would have a fun time shoveling food in your mouth. I know mine does.
You could try one of those Quaker Breakfast Bars. It's supposedly like eating a bowl of cereal in bar form.
I think cookies are yummy!! Thank You Duck Hunter for the comment on my latest post. :) lol

Chocolate Chip Cookies are great for breakfast. ;)
Someday you might lack the use of your arms and WISH you could do it!
Have Randy slingshot cereal into your mouth. You'll be fed, he'll work on his hand/eye coordination. It's win/win!
Hey stranger! Been awhile hasn't it?
You could always re-create the scene in "A Christmas Story" and skip your hands all together.
By the way, I LOVE the lighting in the photo of Brenna on the bridge. It's hard to get something that good with natural light. Great work!
