We had a little bit of a breakdown yesterday and paid for it this morning. For whatever reason - probably just an accumulation of too much non-stop work and the anxiety of doing something new - we were both exhausted last night: didn't go to Illumination Night, didn't even have dinner. And, most important, did not do one thing to prepare for this morning's breakfast.
Plus we somehow failed to take into account the fact that, duh!, today is graduation and parents need to be up and at 'em to get decent seats. So we were really scrambling to get everything ready and on the table without looking too sweaty and harried. I think we pulled it off...but if we did, it was mainly because everyone was focused on something else - like graduation.
Despite everything, Dom made these adorable quiches in our new ramekins and they were quite possibly the best quiches he's ever made. And the table did indeed look beautiful with all our new things.
Anyway, the take-away from all this was this: no matter how late it is, no matter how tired we are, we simply must get the room ready the night before and start the preparations (or at least have a game plan) for breakfast.
