Mt. Pleasant Classical Academy

Last night we went to a Pirate’s Party; nice time eating and visiting with folks, and extra special that the kids were included in the invitation. ScienceKid took Brutus to his room for the night but when I heard Brutus crying in the morning I started to get up. DH told me to lay back down, that SK could take care of Brutus.

Right. Sometimes I know I forget just how old and capable he is. I rolled back under the 10″ feather coverlet and decided to catch a few more Zzzz. Soon I heard SK urging Brutus back up the stairs and into our room. Doesn’t he know that Mom really just wants to sleep the morning away?

“Mom?, MOM”

“yes”

“What would you like for breakfast? Would you like bacon and eggs, or, no eggs would be to difficult. How about bacon and a bagel? Would you like that for breakfast?”

A short time later SK came walking in my bedroom with a plate of bacon, a toasted bagel with cream cheese, and a sliced kiwi, and served me breakfast in bed. Where did he learn this? Such a considerate act. :-)  Soon he brought me coffee too.  How thoughtful!  I haven’t had breakfast in bed for a dozen years, not that the kids haven’t tried or wanted to. As SK explained to me; the problem is that I always get up way too early for anyone to succeed at serving me breakfast in bed.

What a great way to start the day. So, if you need any further proof that teenagers are wonderful people, just re-read the above.

Now I just wish the rest of the day continued as well. SK and I took Brutus out for a walk. Things were going well, we even did a short run, and stopped to chat to a neighbor walking his yellow lab. I was smiling at how well we are doing at socializing Brutus daily as we started to walk away from the neighbor but then the pain hit me. Walking home was difficult to say the least and has continued for the past several hours. In fact, the pain streaming from the muscles below my right knee is making me feel my age today and at times turns my stomach. At least my DS knows how to serve me breakfast in bed in case I need someone to take care of me tomorrow morning.
