Keeping It Real

B-Mama suggested that we start a periodic column telling some of the less than perfect realities.  I want to add at the outset that my goal, in my less than perfection, is to remain loving and cheerful (love perfects all things), so this is NOT to be taken as complaining or denigrating the life of the family, just to give our readers a little window into the everyday foibles that even we Tigers face.

I can think of no better real scenario to begin with than this:

We got home at midnight last night, six kids in tow, from Christmas in New York.  The kids are exhausted, as am I, but strangely they are awake and hungry.  We are out of bread and milk.  I am serving cheese nachos and scrambled eggs for breakfast!

I have certain Mommy mantras, which come from this blog and other sources:  for example, do you all remember Red’s Burnt Cake (when you are trying to do too many things at once, one of them is bound to fail)?  Well, when you make something out of nothing, Nachos for Breakfast.
