Where Have I Been All Day?
Monday, October 19th, 2009I wish I had a grand adventure to tell you of, but no.
In no particular order, here are the excuses for my lameness today.
The twins are home. Needy little children is what they are. Feed me. Water me. Clothe me. “What are you, three? No, you’re four, I can’t do everything for you for the rest of your life. Today is a good day to start being a little more independent.”
The middle boys came home looking for a fight. The Awesome household has approximately 47 computers. Only one of which is kid approved. Neither of them have been on it in six months. Today, they were both near death and needed to get on it or they would die. Fun times.
I wore a boob shirt today. Every time I caught a glimpse of the girls I’d get distracted and well…
I wore a boob shirt today. Every time Hubby caught a glimpse of the girls he’d attack me and well…
Difficult to come up with something awe inspiring when little ones are yelling “fart, fart, fart”.
Answered an email from our caseworker wondering what was up with our case. Uh huh I did. Who is running this show here? Because I’ll be happy to take it over, you won’t like it, but I’ll certainly do it.
Answered the first of what historically is many phone calls from Big Boys teachers. Things that struck me as interesting about the phone call. The teacher said he’s been “letting things slide” and now it’s “gone too far”. Yes, that is typically what happens when you let things slide. Strike first, strike hard, no mercy. First time they do something wrong you got to kick ‘em in the arse. Metaphorically speaking. Yeah, who wants to send their kids to my academy? The teacher also said that it is a group of four kids that sit near the back. “Um, maybe move them to the front, or into opposing corners, divide and conquer.” Not that Big Boy is a model student. He is 1/5 of the reason that I don’t home school. My bio children have inherited my stubbornness. The BOTH children have learned it, but have the added bonus of excess energy. It’s best they be the salt of the world right now. All that to say that we have one more child with nothing fun to do until he gets his act together.
Truly, I did a better job on child number three than I have on the rest of them.
I would suggest you all become licensed therapists.
Looking forward to TV tonight. Looking forward to eating tonight. Looking forward to drinking tonight.
Hubby has been gone for thirty minutes, and the dog just figured it out. I think I will run to the grocery store at 6 o’clock to escape this misery.
I’ll be back with something more brilliant soon.
