So I woke up to my second alarm this morning (one to wake up the kids, one to go to work) and started my morning routine. Now, my morning routine is rather standard among non morning people (five minutes realizing you are awake, bathroom, coffee, coffee, coffee, shower, work) and any disruption is okay, because it's not so much a routine as much a natural order. However my routine was broken this morning when I found a note on the microwave as I was making my coffee.
"Dear Guncle,
The little one was standing too close the glass when it broke. He cried and hopes you aren't mad at him. Please don't be made at him. It was an accident. We love you.
Signature:Little one"
The little one, being all of five can only write his name, so I know the letter was written by the oldest (we have remarkably similar handwriting). So there I was, without my coffee, looking for broken glass. Looked at all the cups, windows, breakables, anything that had any glass to it whatsoever. I found nothing. So when I went back in the kitchen, took another look, I saw what was broken. It was my favorite coffee mug, "la la la, I can't hear you, la la la" given to me by my friend Wes. This is the mug I have been using everyday for the two years at least. If it was coffee, it was in this cup. But alas, those days are over.
I can at least take comfort in knowing they feel comfortable coming to me (in writing or in person) that they have done something wrong or made a mistake. It makes me feel like I am doing something right.
