I can’t help it, breakfast is one of my favorite meals. I absolutely love the wide choice of options. This weekend, I needed something that was quick and easy for the family breakfast. Without too much detail, I played nurse all weekend for a child with a bad tummy and hubby had food poisoning.
After the full weekend, I told the husband that he may need to cancel his golf game. Surprisingly, he was healthy enough to go golfing.
I, on the other hand, felt like I was down for the count! He made sure to tell me that it is not so bad being sick, that I could handle it. Why are men like that sometimes? Anyway, I did manage to get things done and still make breakfast for them.
