Coming home late from work last night, I received a call from my son Idris telling me he needed brownies for school. I asked Idris, why did you sign me up for brownies? He claimed he didn’t sign me up that he was told to bring in brownies. While my friend was dropping me off at my car, we concluded that he signed me up. Well I went over to Publix to pickup brownie bites, they are small brownies that Publix sells in the bakery. I didn’t want to pay $3.59 for a small tub of brownies, so I opted to bake brownies. I ended up buying two boxes of Ghirardelli brownie mix for $2.79; they were buy one get one free. I walked in the house around 9:15 pm and decided it was to late to be baking brownies so I decided to do them in the morning. I got ready for bed around 10:00 and an hour or so later my husband wakes me up and tells me I need to do “my homework”, you know the wifey/mommy homework. Well to make this story a little shorter, I got up around 6:00 am this morning prepared the boxed brownie mix and placed them in the oven around 6:15. Around 6:20 here comes my youngest son Femi with two books in tow, I wasn’t there to read to him last night so I had to read to him this morning. We read two stories in about twenty-minutes, they were pretty long stories for a kindergartener this earlier in the morning but we made the best of it. By this time, the timer was going off for the brownies and Idris has finally gotten up. So I started asking why he signed up for brownies. He said, he didn’t sign up for brownies that they told him to bring in brownies. So Idris finds the note telling him what to bring in. Idris does have to bring in brownies but not until Monday. This is one of those mommy moments, all I could do was smile and thank God for my children and my patience this crisp and cool morning.
Have a great weekend.
