Stir Crazy
The kids did not have school today. I had a plan for us all to get out of the house so that we wouldn’t drive each other nuts. Then it snowed 8 inches this morning. I braved the snow twice. Once with Gleek to get breakfast donuts. Once with Link and Patches to the dollar store to buy birthday gifts for Gleek. Both times the roads were coated with snow and slippery. We all stayed in for the rest of the day. Unfortunately the trip to the dollar store also resulted in Link becoming the proud owner of a whoopie cushion and three cans of silly string. I’ll just let you picture three of my kids and two neighbor kids shrieking with glee as silly string goes everywhere. There was much clean up. There was much whining about said clean up. There was much grumbling from me when I had to do the post-cleanup clean up. We have 14 foot ceilings and I had to scrape stuff off of them. And then later we were all treated to Link putting on a “fart show.”
I have a nice house, but today it felt far too small.
