I always think “Hey, shouldn’t you be having breakfast in bed?”  What’s with the gardening clothes and you rockin’ that hoe?  Yet, there I was, right there with them, digging in the dirt getting ready to plant the garden.  I guess it’s a mom thing – we like to nurture things. It must be the good mom mojo we’ve got goin’ on external sound card.
