Aaaaannnnnd...they're off!

Today's Picks: "The favorite for today is Mind that Mommy at 6-1, and the long shot Kitty Kaiti Mind Your Manners (7-1). But everyone is talking about the newcomer Pink Filly. "

And they are lining up at the posts...

Alarm clock: Beep Beep Beeeeeep. 6:15...the gates open..."Aaaaand they're off!"

"It's Mind that Mommy off to a strong start, pulling away from the pack with 3 healthy breakfasts while doling out morning snugs and kisses, 3 beds made, 2 dogs fed, scratches and walked, 1 round of StarWars Legos..."

"Pink Filly starts to make a move on the inside as Mind that Mommy has trouble with the bean grinder..." 1 pot of coffee, 1 cup of pink tea (guess who that's for?!), 1 load of dishes,

"And at the break it's Kitty Kaiti Mind Your Manners and Pink Filly, but here comes Mind that Mommy..." 3 coordinating outfits and 3 pair of shoes (may seem like a no brainer to you...but hello...we are girls. Do you know how many clothes we have to choose from? And shoes?? They are only 3 and 6 but they have a sepearate closet just for shoes!),  3 hair styles, 

" Pink Filly is really giving Mind that Mommy a run for her money, Folks!"

1 load of laundry, 3 sets of teeth brushed and flossed, "The Pink Filly is in a dead heat with last year's winner."

1 baby doll dressed in coordinating outfit, 1 pink poodle (aka. Pinky Frenchy) leashed and in her posh puppy bed, 2 lunches packed (crust trimmed sandwich and quartered into perfect squares, canteloupe specifically cut into perfect squares, wheat thins upon request...because well, they are perfect squares - can you guess what the new shape of the week is at school?!),

"And down the stretch they come!" 2 backpacks ready and waiting by the door, extra outfit and panties for school (had to repack backpack because she noticed the extra panties did not -indeed- match the outfit...who's child is this?), "Kitty Kaiti Mind Your Manners is all acey deucey with lacing her Nikes at the front door..."

"Now it's Mind that Mommy out in front!!! Send out a search party for the rest of the field!! This old Mare has it by a long shot!" 1 gym bag packed with after work run essentials, car unlocked..."Coming down the back stretch now it's Pink Filly out in front, no it's Mind that Mommy "And here comes the Closer "Kitty Kaiti Mind Your Manners" to steal the lead! Folks...it's going to be a photo finish!"
