9:16 AM. Deep in the middle of e-learning….Child #1 ” Mom, I can’t see my papers. Better tell my teachers I have a case of the bad eye balls and I’m having a hard time”.
11:27 AM. Child #4 announces “Mommy, (Kim) I am going to be embarrassed when I graduate college. I’m going to have to tell everyone your 80”. I enjoy his truth bombs. Kim…. not so much.
12:20 PM. Someone made a design in the butter. Have I not provided enough activities? Crayons, markers, paint, sidewalk chalk? You have to desecrate the butter?
1:30 to 2:40 PM. Had another zoom meeting…. all 3 girls bombed my meeting. First individually, then all together. Why, you ask? Because they wanted to run through the sprinkler. Super important!!!!
3:15 PM. Hosed down the kids again. Just for fun this time.
3:39 PM. Child #1 “Mom, why does everything have Chicken”? Me, what do you mean? “Like, why does everything have chicken”? Me, I still don’t understand what you are sqying. Give me an example. “Ok, like chickens are full of chicken”…. sweet baby Jesus….. help me!!!
5:14 PM. Rain begins!! We love rain!! Girls run and put on their swimsuits, because every excuse we get, we now put on our swimsuits. They run outside and the rain stops. Disappointed, they come back inside and change.
5:32 PM. Rain starts again! Girls scream, because that is their reaction to EVERYTHING!! They continue to squeal while putting their suits back on and run outside!!!
5:39 PM. Rain stops again. I should feel bad, but I secretly feel like this is payback for all the bickering this morning about sheets. Yes. Bed sheets.
5:43 PM. Child #3 “This day is terrible. First I lose my monkey, then my lipstick disappeared. Don’t even get me started on the rain”!!! First, when dis you get a monkey? And second when did you get lipstick. And 3rd When did you turn 20!!!!
6:36 PM. Child #5 has once again removed his pants and diaper. He is now walking around commando with a light saber. Naked light saber-ing. Children 1-4 of course chanting him.on.
7:09 PM. Between chicken, rain and naked light-sabering…. I’m spent!!
Good night!
