Vacation - Day 1

So the kids are off of school for two whole weeks. Whatever shall I do with them? Seems they have determined that themselves.

Day 1 - Lauryn has already been sent to her room for the duration of the day. Offense? Talking back to Mom, not listening to Mom, yelling at sisters, hitting sisters, sticking tongue out at Mom and sisters, shall I go on? I didn't think so.

Not that the "sisters" have been doing much better. Temera has given me major attitude, although when you call her on it, it's all "my" fault. Amanda is oblivious to the world around her while she lays on the couch all day watching "iCarly" reruns. Oh yes, TV will be going underground for the next few days.

Me? I've been hooked on reading my new book, "Outliers" by Malcolm Gladwell. Awesome book. All about how successful people actually became successful (mostly through a series of upbringing, environment and pure luck... as in, being in the right place at the right time). I guess I missed that boat. Anyway... I highly recommend it. (As I already did to my book club as our selection this month.)

So... what will Day 2 bring? I shudder to think. No, I don't have a plan. The weather stinks or else we'd end up at the park. The kids actually did get some outdoors time in this morning when they played with neighbors Sophia and Isabella. (Mom had to go to the doc to check on baby #3). Oh... if she only knew what she was in for. So, I did my good deed for today (watching the neighbor's kids)... and I got some reading in... and I'm doing some writing... so besides the kids driving me crazy... I was at least a little bit productive.

I'm feeling lazy too... frozen lasagna for dinner. Yummmmmm!!!!!!
