So how have your kids been staying busy during their last weeks of freedom? Around these parts, I’ve noticed a sharp increase in phone calls, friends dropping by and sleepover plans are outta control. Kids are playing video games like they are attempting to hide from Mom’s glorious back to school countdown!!
They see the school supplies stacked in the closets and quickly slam the door, like they’ve seen a ghost! Channel Chick has participated in some TV marathons like no other human being has ever witnessed before. Rocket Boy runs and slides all over the house in an effort to get as much as he can out of each precious pre-school moment.
The wranglers started playing the Wii this morning and then rummaged through the basement to resurrect the Game Boy console from the dark ages. But, they are content, and that means Mommies In Orbit has time to breathe!
Thank you Mario for a peaceful Sunday! |
I’ve only witnessed a couple of volcanic eruptions since the wranglers crawled out of bed this morning. That’s HUGE news! Tween twins, the boy and girl kind, are only programmed to get along for 30 minutes at a time. Before you know it, Channel Chick is sobbing, claiming her life is in ruins, and calling her brother, a jerk. Meanwhile Rocket Boy has just plain had it with girls and their demonic ways, hormonal surges. “Mom, I’ll just never understand why girls act THAT way!”
By the end of the day I am soooo relieved when I hear the last bedside lamp go CLICK, and the darkness takes over. Thank you Mario and all your friends for making my day tolerable, as we rocket through the tween orbit.
