9:27 to 10:36 AM. Why!??!?! Why did I buy a baby shark puzzle that sings the song every time you put the piece in? WHY?!?!?!
11:15 AM. Baby shark do do do do do do. Baby shark…. CRAP.
11:59 AM. Child #5 has discovered how to take his diaper off and throw it in the garbage. This could be cute… until you follow the poop trail from where he took it off to the garbage. Not cute at all.
1:32 PM. Lunch was trying. Everyone was “tired of eating the same stuff”. I have officially run out of ideas for lunch. I have a playbook.of about a dozen things. I am more of a dinner gal. Typically that would last almost 2 months… not so much now!
1:50 PM. Googling “lunch ideas for kids”
2:48 PM. Throw something in the garbage and realize child #5 has learned to throw more than his diaper in the garbage. Pull out a ball, 3 socks, a shoe and a toy truck.
3:15 PM. Wondering if Child #5 tossed my glasses.
3:43 PM. Without schoolwork, the kids are “bored”. So I told them to get out their workbooks…. they found things to do.
4:17 PM. Child #3 “Mom, did you know I can blow up a balloon with my nose”.
4:39 PM. Watched the kids play outside. Child #4 to Child #3 Frustrated that child #3 isn’t swinging at any of his pitches… “if your going to be the batter you have to bat the ball! You can’t be a batter if you don’t bat”….. ummmmmm
5:48 PM. After an intense game if wiffle ball, the children are famished.
6:47 PM. Child number 1 makes an announcement: “I’m thinking about what I will be like in High School”. Where did that come from and what do you mean? Child #3 “probably mean”. Child #2 “definitely bossy, you’re pretty bossy now, so by time you are in high school you will probably be really bossy”. Child #1 “no, like a doctor, or work at McDonald’s”. Child #4 “really!?!?!? that’a not high school, that’s real life, all you do in high school is play sports and have a girlfriend”. O….m….. I cannot tonight.
7:05 PM. Kids are in bed and I need a nap.
7:09 PM. Baby shark do do do do do do… UGH!!!
Good night!
