9:45 AM. 22 Days…. 22 days. 22 breakfasts, 22 lunches, 22 dinners and 2,476 snacks. Not that we don’t always have breakfast and dinner…. its the 22 consecutive ones that I am having a hard time grasping. A minimum of 4 more weeks in sight…. have I mentioned I get a little cagey when I have to stay at home? I only wore a bra for 5 min today.
11:15 AM. Why is there so much garbage??? Oh yea, 22 breakfasts, lunches and dinner… and the snacks. So. Much. Garbage.
1:32 PM. Letting the kids prep dinner early. Kim accidentally bought chicken wings instead of breasts. Yes, I know. I do the shopping. So we planned BBQ wings on the grill. Make the sauce, get stuff ready to put together and child #3 asks “what are these again”. Child #1 replies “Turkey Ribs”. O….m……
2:50 PM. Got the courage to tackle child #4’s room. Why…. why do we have to shove everything possible under the bed. Found 2 missing remotes…. and ALL HIS UNDERWEAR!! We were wondering where it was.
4:45 PM. LIGHT BULB!! Look under everyone’s beds… FOUND MY GLASSES!! Child #1 is the culprit. Her excuse…. they looked cute on child #5 (18 mos). But… wait for it…. “technically he lost em’ Mom. I just put them on his face”. Not today Satan…. not today.
5:15 PM. Put the “Turkey Ribs” on the grill with some pineapple, asparagus and corn. Apparently it was the best meal I’ve ever cooked. They were quiet and moaning at the same time.
6:35 PM. Ready for bed. Child #3 asks if we can have ribs again for dinner tomorrow. Now I’ll never know what they are really asking for!!
6:69 PM. They must have gotten a lot of outside air because they ASKED to go to bed early. I think I may have said yes too quickly, but…. YES!! GO FOR IT!
Good night!
