What I'm Thinking Right Now at 2:57 PM

Help!! I'm tired of being Julie, the Cruise Director, here with my gang. I want to have fun, but it seems like I'm running into attitude with every one in this house today. These are the moments when I want to have a villa alone in Tuscany. I think I'll go out on the deck now and let them figure it all out for themselves. If only I could wear a big sun hat and sunglasses and hide on a deck chair with my book and the sun...

10:06 AM to 10:08 AM

"Mom, where is my really tiny unicorn?"

"Mom, tell him to stop dancing in front of the TV!"

"Mom, why is my video game buzzing?"

"Mom, all you have are bagels for breakfast?"

"Mom, I'm bored."

"Mommy, the brothers can't go in my room!"

"Mom, are we doing ANYTHING today?"

This is my reality right now. That was a long two minutes. I'm dreaming of the school bus. Six days to go!!!

Maybe two minutes with The Beatles is what I need. Should I be concerned that it's quiet downstairs now? Is it the calm before the next 2 minute storm? It's snowing here, so I think it's time to dig out the snow pants. They can't get into too much trouble outside in the snow until the first one who runs up to me yelling, "Mom, he hit me in the face with that snowball on purpose!" Maybe I'll just make snow angels with Jillian :)



I wonder how many kid comments/complaints/questions I would post covering a whole hour. That would be enlightening. When my hubby emails me to see how my day is going, I could just cut and paste those comments under the header "One hour down, Mommy is still standing."
