I am downstairs all by myself which is a rarity in this house. \u00c2\u00a0Usually the youngest wakes up at 5ish and wants to go downstairs…he is not one for sleeping in. However, this morning I quietly rolled out of bed and substituted a couple of pillows for me. Hopefully he won’t realize the difference for at least an hour or so.<\/p>\n
We were semi successful at being unplugged, but it was not quite as a joyful experience as I had hoped. \u00c2\u00a0The breakfast was eaten, the beds were made, teeth brushed, and clothes on…that was the first 12 minutes of the day. \u00c2\u00a0The boys plus one friend and I took the furry part of our family for a 3 mile walk and then stopped to play at the park for a bit. We should have stayed there all day! \u00c2\u00a0The sugar in the 3 yogurts they ate upon arriving home took effect almost immediately and then the fun began. Back and forth between happy and mad, they were into everything and wanting anything with sugar. \u00c2\u00a0Oh the insidious sugar, it is like a drug for my guys. \u00c2\u00a0I don’t know about other families, but here in this house even the 14 grams of sugar in yogurt(x3)makes for a rough afternoon. \u00c2\u00a0We played mouse trap…that was fun until one decided that the other rolled the dice twice….then all the pieces were mysteriously knocked down. \u00c2\u00a0We plowed forward and set the game up again. \u00c2\u00a0This time we almost made it all the way around without incident…but not quite. \u00c2\u00a0Again, the pieces flew and it was time to put the game away. There were tears and then much needed sleep. It was a really long day…I’ll try again today without the expectation of a Norman Rockwell. I will also have help entertaining and playing with the munchkins, as “Daddy” is coming home and bringing a friend along for reinforcement. Yea!!!<\/p>\n
I am still waiting for information on the new job. \u00c2\u00a0Like…when I start, what I wear, how soon I get the employee discount$$$$ all the useful information. \u00c2\u00a0I am really excited for this new chapter of life.<\/p>\n
I did manage to clean out the china closet yesterday, and to my overwhelming excitement I\u00c2\u00a0found the long lost wine cellar key. \u00c2\u00a0You see, it has been missing since December 14th. \u00c2\u00a0I originally thought it was accidentally dropped into a Christmas present and shipped out. \u00c2\u00a0I was praying that it had not landed in the trash. I did have faith the the elusive key would turn up somewhere, but seriously, how it made it’s way into that closet I have absolutely no idea. \u00c2\u00a0I am glad the key has returned. \u00c2\u00a0We had to remove the locked door of the cellar to get in and re hang the door to lock it. Oh, happy days, I think we should make a spare!!<\/p>\n
I hear whispers coming from the stairs…the monkeys are up! \u00c2\u00a0DBF will be blogging tomorrow. \u00c2\u00a0I have enjoyed writing the the blog these last four days, until next time.<\/p>\n
God Bless<\/p>\n
