1) Kids do not observe daylight savings time. In fact, Ava has chosen to get up even earlier than usual both days so far. Awesome!
2) Got everybody ready to haul Ryan to the airport this morning. About 10 minutes after dropping him off, get a call that his flight schedule changed today (he takes the same flight every weekend), and it left an hour before he got there. I'm sure he'll get to San Diego sometime today.
3) Told kids we'd hit the bookstore on the way back home to get some books for our road trip to San Diego this weekend. Arrived at Border's to find that they've changed their opening time to 10:00. It was 9:00 am.
4) Tell kids, OK, we'll do an Amazon order when we get home and the books will be here on Wed. Decided to start some eggs boiling downstairs while I take Delaney's book order.
5) At least 45 minutes later, as we are finishing up the entire book order (and certain people had to take a very long time deciding....) I hear a loud pop noise. Get up to yell at the kids who were wrestling around while they were watching a Discovery channel show on my bed. Look around and realize that there is nothing broken. So what was that loud noise?
6) Realize that something smells like it is burning.
7) Remember boiling eggs downstairs.
8) Discover that of the 6 eggs we started off with, only 4 are still in the pan. The other two have exploded all over the kitchen and have even made it into the living room.
Awesome.
I said all I'm going to say on Facebook, but had to come over here for one final laugh...ok, I'm done now...(sorry you had such a crappy morning...it's got to get better, right?)

So that's what would happen if you forget about the eggs...I've come close before! Great start to your day! It can only go up from here right?

Technically you only have 3 1/2 eggs left in the pan. Wow! That is SOME messy morning!!

Wow. At least you have a fun package to look forward to in a couple of days, right? Do your kids at least go to bed earlier, since it's now darker in the evenings?
