We started out o.k....Wes told the kids they couldn't spend all day playing video games, they had to read books first. They got out some books, but instead of reading I overheard Tye telling Tate what kind of seals killer whales could swallow whole. They were all obsessed with all the animals a killer whale could eat.....at least they were attempting to read and not obsessed with attacking each other which happens very often in this household.
Tate started eating snacks...oh about 6:20 this morning. At 8:30 I finally told him no more snacks until he eats something healthy, he said fine, fix me a sandwich. A few minutes later he was back to eating the entire box of vanilla wafers, but I THOUGHT he had eaten his sandwich. At 10:06 I found this under his dresser...nice!
Around 10:30 after I cleaned up the play dough mess, put batteries in the Wii Remotes, loaded their marshmallow guns 6 times, found the remote to the TV, built a fort in the stair closet, did the dishes, played battleship and chutes & ladders, looked at the laundry pile (but then walked away), had two phone calls with my boss while I locked myself in the bathroom, attempted to balance my checkbook, swept the floor 4 times and made cream of wheat and 11 pieces of toast I called my friend to see if her kids could come play...
Lucky for me, she was thrilled. I have honestly blown threw a pantry full of snacks and have a serious mess to clean up - (look at the picture below) but I haven't heard my name in 33 minutes, totally worth cleaning up the mess.
I know I picked the song 9 to 5 to add to this blog, but the reality is, being a mother is no 9 to 5 job....more like 24/7.
