The house is trashed. Every effort I make to get it picked up is met with almost instant efforts to trash it again! Yesterday, Robin dumped dirty clothes in the living room. I asked her why she thought it was okay to do that here when she doesn't do it at home. I noted that she silently picked it up and put it in the hamper. Small victory. (VERY small victory, considering the condition of the rest of the house!)
Today, Grandma Judy took Ryan on a shopping trip, as she had done with Robin. I took advantage of that and went to get my hair cut. Robin went with me, but I was there for such a short time that she didn't have a chance to get bored. Good thing because the AC was out in the salon!
Tomorrow, Gr. Judy is taking both children to see The Return of Nanny McPhee. Thereafter, she will keep them for a bit while I try to get laundry and packing under control for our trip to the Chicago area on Saturday morning. (The car will be packed to the gills--two big boxes of school supplies, children's clothing, toys, my clothing, plus sleeping bag, pillows, fan, etc., for me to stay there for a few days.) I am told that the trip will take 5-6 hours. God help me! The children could sleep, but they won't. My best guess is that they will fuss and fight in the back seat while I am trying to drive on the Dan Ryan Expressway in Chicago!!!!
I am:
out of milk
out of snacks
out of time
out of patience
out of energy
ready for bed.
Good night!
