Don't skip breakfast

First of all let me say, breakfast for lunch is always a good thing. Unless of course you are my 10 year old son Jakob. He doesn't understand that it is ok to skip breakfast (and that you do not have to catch up on it later). He proved this to me last week when he called me while I was at TT's house and asked (at 12:30 mind you) what he could have for breakfast. "Honey it's too late for breakfast you might as well eat lunch." "NOOOOOOOOOOO! (while he's crying mind you) I didn't get to eat breakfast" Having gone to the store that day and bought him a lunchable to satisfy this poor starving orphan, he scarfed it down and before I could even ask how it was he looked at me and said, "Now can I have a bowl of cereal?" What? You just ate lunch! "BUT I DIDN'T GET TO HAVE BREAKFAST!!" Knowing that there is no possible way to win this one...I let him eat the bowl of cereal. After all, breakfast truly is an all day ordeal.
I went to lunch with "the girls" (me being the youngest at the ripe ole age of 35) and we decided to hit the thrift stores while we were out.
I like thrift stores...they color coordinate everything. I don't have to fumble through stuff to find what I'm looking for. Purple  blouse? No problem. There is an entire rack of purple right over there. There are rules to purchasing things at a thrift store you know. Clothing, fine. Under things...NO. No not at all there are no exceptions to this rule. You don't know where they have been. You probably don't want to know either. Shoes are pushing the rule a bit. You don't know what kind of foot cooties these people may have had either. (Now I'mstarting to sound like MONK) I'm just saying...there are rules. That being said, I bought a cute hat...I hope they didn't have bugs!
