It is with a tingle of excitement and a nagging fear of the unknown that I close the day today. Tomorrow, all the kids will be home for the summer. I work from home. This period of time is always... uneasy. What will the boys do? Free time and 4th grade boys are the major cause of increased homeowner's insurance premiums (made up factoid, but at first pass you believed it was possible, huh). My boys like fire...and projectiles...and animals...and chaos. Preferably all at once. Wrap your mind around what that might look like. Not a pretty picture, huh! Welcome to my life. What about the daughter? Well, one thing is for sure- she will not be causing any problems in the morning- she will be sleeping 'till noon. All occupants of "her house" (HERS! HA! Climb under the mortgage, sweetie!) have been instructed to leave her alone until noon. Sadly, she chose to tempt fate by emphasizing that point with the boys. What devious little brother-big sister torments are flailing in their little minds? Stay tuned. The littlest one, who does not like to get up for preschool, will now begin rising at 5 to plant himself in front of the TV and rot his brains with cartoons.
At least he is quiet.
