AS A FAMILY

[Blindgreed1]

Do you and your families all get up in the morning & eat breakfast together? Kiss each other goodbye? If I saw how your mornings go down would it be like the idea of suburbia that Hollywood has given me - a cross between the Cleavers and the Stepford wives?

I get up at 5:20, sometimes I have coffee, sometimes not. I watch the news to see what horrors have occurred since the previous morning. I scratch, make the day's gameplan in my head. Get ready for work and wake up my daughter at about 7 before I head off to work to tell her I love her. We usually eat dinner together if we can and then she argues about what dishes she feels she shouldn't have to wash before bed.
