The husband and wife share a quick kiss as Jenna tucks herself back in bed. Playfully, Jenna rubs her foot on Tim's leg. He jumps at the touch.
"Cold!" He settles down, staring up at the ceiling. "No breakfast for the kids?"
"Cereal this morning. Need five more minutes." Jenna's already got her head buried in the pillows, trying to block out the rest of the day.
Some time passes, and Tim pushes the sheets off his body. "It's 7, hun," he said to his wife, pulling on his pants. "Once I'm done dressing, how about I wake the kids?"
With a sigh, Jenna sits up. "That'd be great. I'll meet you downstairs." Tim walks out, leaving her to her thoughts.
Another sigh, and she springs into action. Pantyhose, blouse, skirt, jacket. A simple outfit, but stylish and functional. She sees the heels Tim bought her; a thoughtful gift to be sure, but they were just a bit on the tight side. She'd hold off on those for now.
By 7:10 she was at the table. The rest of the family had already assembled: Tim, trying to read a bit of the morning news on his phone; the teens, still too tired to get into a real argument, and Emily, struggling with the carton of milk. She moves to help the seven year old, pouring milk into her Lucky Charms.
