Things I Learned This Weekend
Watching an indoor soccer tournament ALL day is much more entertaining than sitting through the speeches at my graduation ceremony.
A child will get up much earlier than normal and will be in a good mood to make an 8am soccer game out of town.
That same child will be intolerably grumpy the next day.
I now know the exact level I have to scream before a child with headphones can hear me.
The quickest way to get some "alone time" is to threaten to clean out the game and craft closet.
It takes 2 solid days to clean out the game and craft closet.
We have multiple copies of several board games. All of them are missing the same piece.
#1 Son was apparently already my personal slave. Him: (in appropriate snotty voice) "So, what's my punishment going to be?" Me: "You my dear are my personal slave until further notice." Him: (under his breath) "Yeah, like I wasn't already." Who knew? Think of all the time I have lost.
The Little One will work her butt off trying to show up her brother, who is grounded and working because he is forced to as punishment.
I now know where all the missing dishes, glasses and silverware have gone.
We have some substance in this house that hardens into a permanent impenetrable mass when left in a glass under someone's bed.
The same mysterious substance is a different color on plates. And silverware.
I now know what that smell was.
