Breakfast

My favorite meal of the day is breakfast. Not really sure why. Maybe because all I think about is food and what better way to start the day than with a wonderful breakfast. I think the best breakfast I have made is what I made last saturday and today. 5 potaotoes(chopped), 1 large onion (chopped), Green Bell pepper, (chopped) and sliced mushrooms. I like to use maple sausage, it just gives it that nice sweet taste. Then of course the eggs. You can mix the eggs into everything or you can just scramble them on the side, or even just do a cook to order for eveyone. Put a little cheese on it and there you have it a very good filling breakfast. I love to make it. It does take a little time though. You have to cook the potatoes just right then add everything else just at the right moment. Its a skilled task that I like to think I have mastered. :-) Well thats it for today just wanted to comment on my wonderful filling breakfast.

$3.00

OK, So I have had $3 in my wallet for a few weeks now. Not real sure where it came from. I was cleaning out my wallet and it had just appeared there. I have been wondering what I am going to do with this $3. Well today on the way home from Wal-Mart, I was first in line of a long line of cars. Up ahead there is a person standing with a cardboard sign. Not uncommon to see at the Wal-Mart parking lot. Like most people I just think to myself "get a job". Well today something was urging me to stop and give the man something. I'm racking my brain for something to give this guy trying to think quick before I reach the stop sign where he is standing. I think, "do I just hand him a bag of groceries. I do have a $10 but we need laundry done. What can I give this guy." The feeling of guilt is starting to creap up on me. For some reason I really want to give this guy something. Well I finaly reach him at the stop sign and I reach down for the change from the ashtray and there in the diaper bag is my wallet with the $3 sticking out nice and conveinient for me to quickly give it to this guy. He was extremely grateful and thanked me profusely. As I drive away with a huge silly smile on my face I look in the rear view mirror and most of the line of cars behind me were stopping and giving him something. I said to Christopher "Well look at what mommy started." Whats weird is I didn't use that pocket of my wallet when I was in Wal-Mart. I don't know if Christopher unzipped it or if the zipper was cought on something when I put it down. All I know is I started a line of good deeds today and I feel very good about it. Something inside me just knows that, that man needed that $3 more than I did and who knows how much more he got from the vehicals behind me.
