This morning we all overslept. Husband crept out of bed at 7am, and I soon followed, to find the boys still sound asleep. Hmmm....this wasn't going to do. It takes at least 20 minutes to get Connor dressed and another 20 for him to eat, but we need to leave by 7:35 to get to school on time. As I rushed around trying to get the boys moving, I asked Kirby what he'd like for breakfast.
"A breakfast sandwich," he said.
"We don't have any cheese slices, so pick something else," I told him.
Giving me the most exasperated look, he threw up his hands in the air and said, "Fast food!".
Right at that moment, I made a decision that I'm positive I will live to regret. I promised the boys that if they could be ready in 10 minutes, I would take them to the new McDonald's that just opened up across the road from us for breakfast. This McDonald's is what Husband says will "be the death of us". It has been open almost 2 weeks and you don't want to know how many times we've been there between the four of us. However, the boys had only been there once, for dinner, so I knew going for breakfast would be a treat. Besides, I had a hankering for a Bacon Egg & Cheese biscuit, so I thought it would be a mutually beneficial arrangement.
I am aware that our morning escapade will likely set an awful precedent. Still, maybe it will also leave them with a happy memory. Or, more likely, clogged arteries!

I have absolutely no problem with bribery. Every mother knows it is a necessity at times. Besides I love me an Egg McMuffin. Is there some sort of addictive substance in it? But the real question is: Did you make it on time? Thank you Micky D's!
