Boring day...

Once again we're stuck at home, it has been a boring but restful day. And since I have nothing else to do, (Mr. Rider is on his way to Oklahoma City) I decided to give a detailed account of my day.
Jake came in our room particularly early this morning, right before 7, too early!! So we did what responsible parents do and sent him to watch TV (he had to wait till 7:30 tough).
8:00 I got up to get breakfast ready, the usual eggs and spinach, it's better than it sounds, and bacon.
8:20 I went back to bed. Kids watched more TV.
9:00 I turned the tv on to watch the today show. Mr Rider advised not to get out so the gym was out.
10:30 I finally got up, I started to get hungry so I went to get some cereal and went back to bed. Mr. Rider took a shower and played games with the kids. I watched Ellen at some point.
11:30 I really got up, and got lunch ready, leftover spaghetti pie. Mr. Rider left to Oklahoma.
12:30 I picked the house up a little, but I had done most of my cleaning the day before. So now I didn't have much to do. My scrapbook stuff was staring at me from the table, but I ignored it.
1:30 I decided to pull the plug, I can't stand watching the kids hypnotised by the TV so I turned it off for a while. And I got on the computer to check my mail, weather of course, etc.
2:00 A friend called and I was on the phone for ever, really only 30 minutes.
2:30 I had had it, I need it to take a shower. Much better!
3:00 I thought I could let the kids stay in pj's all day, but I failed. They had a bath.
4:00 We had some strawberries with cream, delicious!
4:30 I felt guilty about not going to the gym and eating too much (I didn't mention some of the other snacks I had) so tried to do some Pilates. The kids piled on top of me, so I couldn't do it.
5:00 I started making some lentil soup with carrots and potatoes, it was really good.
6:00 We ate, and I'm looking forward to a peaceful nite, not so much restful since little rider wants to sleep with me. Mr. Rider will be back tomorrow. I'm hoping for a better day tomorrow, all I'm asking is to be able to get out!!

I am very impressed with you for cooking a real breakfast! I almost never do that.

Well, we actually do frozen waffles a lot too. Specially when I'm in a hurry :)
