Weekend recap
I have never been so glad to have put my kids on the bus as I was this morning. We have had a full weekend and I am ready for a break. Saturday, Brad and I attended my friend’s wedding while the boys went to InPlay for a birthday party. The birthday boy’s mom and grandma were kind enough to let all three of my boys attend the party and let them come to their house afterward so we wouldn’t miss the wedding reception. I thank them for that.
Sunday, was basement cleaning day. All three of the boys got in trouble Friday so we made a deal that they got to go to InPlay only if they helped me clean the basement. About an hour and a half into the cleaning I was starting to wonder who was really being punished them or me. By the time four o’clock rolled around and I didn’t have as much done as I wanted and the boys were bickering and underfoot. I called my husband and told him that I need a bottle of watermelon Boone’s Farm. He came to the rescue with not one bottle but two and they were cold so none of that pesky waiting for them to get cold in the freezer. I was pretty much ready for bed by nine thirty.
Monday, I was sore as I could be from my basement adventure Sunday. I thought that I really should finish but I figured that I will work on it today before the trash comes tomorrow. The boys were at each other again. I was cursing Christopher Columbus most of the day and thankful that I had another bottle of Boone’s farm for after the kids went to bed. I ended up too tired for my Boone’s and just went to bed. Whoo, Whoo What a weekend!
Yes, I think sometimes my kids and I also suffer from what I call “too much togetherness.”
I saw in the paper that Brimfield held school on Monday and used the day to learn about Columbus. I wish my kids’ school had done the same thing…. because in our family my kids only learned that mommy is grumpy when interrupted during “Law and Order.”
Yeah Brimfield! That would have been a good idea to go see the Nina replica yesterday…what do you think the chances it will be back next year?
Our school district decided that my kids needed two days off for Columbus Day. They passed the second one as a “Teacher’s Institute”, but we all know better!
Thank God Aunt Mary isn’t working yet!
