Biscuits and Gravy
Every morning when I ask the kids what they want for breakfast, Michael says "Biscuits and Gravy." I mostly tell him there isn't time and wouldn't he be okay with a scrambled egg instead. He settles. But on the weekend, there's time. Oh YES there is time.
The thing I love the most about my new job may be the hours I'm off. I'm home in the evening before 6 pm most nights. And I don't have to work on weekends. That doesn't prevent me bringing work home mind you. But at least I'm here, lounging in my pajamas and making the biscuits and gravy for Michael.
Yesterday it rained all day, and then the rain turned to snow just after I got home. Brrrrrrrrrr. We closed up the windows and snuggled down in our blankets last night. Just to prove that it was fabulous sleeping weather, neither of the boys are up yet. And as anyone who's ever had us spend the night (or visited here) will know, it's rare for them to sleep in past six.
Last night, we ate leftovers from earlier in the week, popped popcorn and watched Second Hand Lions. And that's as close to the perfect cold autumn with family evening as i can imagine. Today, we're gonna have a slow start, followed by a meander, and then we'll go down to Mr Biggs Family Fun Center for a round of bowling.
I love weekends. I love hanging out with my guys. This kind of time together is the gravy on my biscuit.

What a great read this morning! We have a gal here in Knoxville who writes an interesting column in our News-Sentile about her family life and so on. Your posts here are more interesting and a better write.
Your children will rise up and call you Blessed.
Mmmm...gravy!
Sounds so wonderful and so cozy....
We in Aussieland don't have 'biscuits and gravy' for breakfast and I'm trying to get my head around what exactly it is. Our 'biscuit' would be your 'cookie' so obviously you are talking about a different dish. Is it some sort of pancake or dumpling? The gravy concept, like cream on the cake, I understand.
Aw, I like that coZy, gravy story.
Glad for better hours for you and them! However, I cannot imagine closing the windows because it is snowing... in September, LOL!
