Cinnamon Roles and Gym Shoes

Okay, so the first half of today was a little stressful. But, we made it. The kids are settled into their school, sort of. Now, the notes begin...the "don't forget" notes. Not notes for the kids, but notes for the Mommy who is supposed to remember the contents of all the notes so that the child will be healthy, well-adjusted, and well prepared.

So, for tomorrow, gym shoes, pizza money, balloon lift off, book fees. Check. Except that I have no dollar bills yet for pizza money. And, the cute uniform shoes don't fit therefore requiring that the gym shoes be promoted to daily shoes for one child, leaving no gym shoes. Okay, so it's a bit more complicated than meets the eye.

But, after that long nap to shake that nasty allergy headache (courtesy of my clean carpets and new carpet steamer...not complaining, love the look), I have decided to wow the world with the world's finest cinnamon roles. Last weeks were a flop in my opinion. So, for week 2.

I think we may have a yeast problem or a chef problem tonight. The yeast doesn't seem to be "yeasting" as well as it did last week. So...that sort of ruins the whole experiment. What's with the "add flour slowly". If yeast is the active ingredient, why aren't we adding the yeast slowly? Perhaps so as to not cool the tempernmental yeast too quickly? Hmmm. I did add it slowly. Just wondering.

Anyway, so the goal was to want to take breakfast from the loving mother to the note sending people so that perhaps when we have the incorrect change and no gym shoes and lock our keys in the van, well...sympathy is a good thing.

And I may need some. Just set off the fire alarm from the cheeze that fell off the kids pizza yesteray. It's like 1:30AM. When exactly does one start cinnamon roles to have them ready for the next morning? One website categorized them as a "brunch" food. Aha!
