"Bren is everything okay? You were late this morning and you still seem a little frazzled."

"I'm fine Ange, I've been behind all day. Gracie was up and down all night, the last time she went down, I must have as Booth likes to say passed out cold and didn't wake up until 6:45. I probably wouldn't have woken up then if it hadn't been for Christine coming in my room to ask if we could have pancakes for breakfast. Then after I got up and quickly got ready I got Max up and put him in his highchair with his dry cereal and cut up banana. I forgot to move the highchair out from the wall and he threw most of the cereal down the furnace vent. Then he smashed and smeared most of his banana all over himself and the highchair. I had to give him a quick bath which he screamed through. Thankfully we were only 15 minutes late to school. I had to go in and talk to the secretary so Christine wouldn't be counted absent. Then after I dropped Max and Gracie off upstairs I realized I forgot to pack Christine's lunch, so I went back to school and left money for her in the office. Doing all that made me miss the entire meeting with the scholarship committee, Dr. Fuller is less than pleased with me…"

"Aww Sweetie, don't pay any attention to Dr. Fuller, he should have retired years ago. Your kids come first everybody knows that. Is Gracie okay?"

"Yes, I think she was a little gassy and she probably misses Booth. " I miss him too, I never realized how much he helps with the kids until this week."

Aww Bren, when is he coming home?"

"Monday night, hopefully before bedtime otherwise no one will want to go to sleep."

"At least today is Friday so that should make it a little easier for you."

"It should be easier with no schedule to stick strictly to. The only things I have planned are making Christine pancakes and sucking Cheerios out of the furnace vent in the kitchen tomorrow."
