8:21 AM. My family let me sleep in. I repeat, my family let me sleep in. There were no fights, no yelling, no nonsense that woke me up or anything! Its going to be a great day!!
8:22 AM. Child #3 hid child #2’s new doll because. Just because. Child #2 (in the highest pitch possible).proceeded to explain that child.#3 is “rude and only thinks about herself and has no idea how mean it is to do something so bad”. Glad we worked that out.
9:48 AM. Child #1 announces it’s Spring Break! I am trying to figure out how this day is different than any day last week. Oh wait… there it is. Apparently we are on a nude beach because Child #4 is streaking through the house. I am afraid to ask why. So I don’t.
11:15 AM. So far we have had breakfast, snack, second snack, “just one more cracker” snack, and now we are ready for lunch!!
12:43 PM. The cries of boredom begin.
12:46 PM. Since it’s Spring (looking at snow on the roof), I announce to the family it is time for Spring cleaning!!
12:47 PM. All kids have miraculously found something to do!
1:30 PM. I decide to go through my closet. Tried on 2 pairs.of pants. Stopped going through my closet.
2:25 PM. I hear grumblings beginning in the east wing…. I wait, like I typically do to see if they can work it out (which has never happened, but I think one day by some divine intervention it will), they cannot. I may have waited a little longer than I should, as now there are small action figures flying in the air.
3:18 PM. Only had to treat one casualty. John Cena’s leg has officially been super-glued back on and he is in recovery.
4:22 PM. I have been letting the kids take the lead on dinners for them. Tonight, child #2 wanted to cook.chinese with the wok. So wok it up we did. Child #2 explained to other kids that in China they use chopsticks and speak Spanish! I’ll call her teacher later. Crap that’s me now. I hate Coronavirus.
5:49 PM. Dinner done, kitchen cleaned and now it’s snack time.
6:30 PM. Let them take control of the living room TV for a quick 30 min show before bed. Child #1, the control freak, takes charge! “Everyone sit down and I’ll pick a show”. Child #4 just walks out (he has had enough of his sisters for the day anyway). Child #2 (my snarky nosey child), hands on hips, “ummmm…. I don’t think so lady”. Child #3 (my whiner) “not fair”…. I just watched the dumbest conversation happen and they got nothing figured out.
7:02 PM. I AM THE MEANEST MOM.EVER!! ….. AGAIN! Apparently wasting 30 min arguing instead of watching a show wasn’t what I said. So I am mean, they are in bed, and that concludes our night :). I am just racking up the mom points these days!!
Good night all!!
