and so it begins

eimarraFirst day of summer vacation, and did I get to sleep in? It is to laugh!
At six, the toddler (henceforth to be referred to as CG) starts fussing. Wanted to ignore CG, but then the dog gets up and starts pacing in our bedroom, his toenails going click, click, click on the laminate floor. CG hears the dog and cries louder. Grumbling, I get out of bed. I'm most of the way to the door before I realize the dog was also peeing while pacing.
So I get CG settled, clean up the floor in our bedroom, and go ahead and get dressed. Then I let the dog out, brew some tea, pick up CG (who is fussing again) to plop into the high chair with Cheerios . . . all of this before seven. I don't even usually get up until seven-thirty!
Today, in case you hadn't heard, is National Donut Day, and Dunkin Donuts was giving out a free donut with purchase of a beverage. Off I went to DD with the 7yo (henceforth to be known as T-bug) in tow. We got Munchkins, half a dozen donuts, a hot chocolate for me, and the free donut. I was thrilled to discover that the DD here has finally learned that a lemon-filled donut should be covered with powdered sugar, not sickly white frosting and toasted coconut. Lemon-filleds are my favorite -- so I got one in the half-dozen plus one as the free one. Yum! Back home before eight . . . but the lemon made it worthwhile.
