Home Sick

Ben and I were supposed to go on Josh's last field trip. Thank Goodness Ben has Pink Eye . . . I was dragging this morning, getting ready to go. I never thought I'd be thankful for Pink Eye, but today I am!

Of course, Emma just called and forgot her mitt and tennis shoes for her class softball game party, and Josh forgot his sack lunch, so I have to get dressed, make a sack lunch and haul myself down to the school anyway. But I don't have to stay and go on ANOTHER field trip. Hallelujah!

Usually I am dreading summer vacation, but I think I'm excited for it, this year. My minions will be home to do my bidding! And if I throw in a few fun memories, they'll think they're getting something for all their hard work. YAY! My bathrooms will be clean, Ben will have someone to entertain him and Josh will have more time in his day to help me cook dinner!

I love field trips. I have so much fun, and then at home I am really bugged by my kids because I am so tired! I want to know how you are going to make your kids clean the bathrooms. Summer break to me means Olivia will be home more to wreck the house, not clean it.

I was at work today after reading your blog early this morning before work, I am becoming a junkie, and couldn't stop laughing all day about having your minions home all day to do your bidding. You really do lighten up my days. I did start a blog you'll have to check it out definitely not as funny but may get there some day. If we come out do you ever need a whip for your minions? Just kidding. Love ya

I agree - fieldtrips suck. I'd rather go on the outings with just my own family and kids. I don't want to watch other people's kids. We've had pink this last week too.

Are you coming to the Bay area at all this summer? I would love to see you guys.

I like to go on field trips, usually. What I find a challenge is eating lunch at school with the kids and their friends. I try and go but it's never enough in their opinion and way too much in mine :)

You didn't call on Sunday :( Do you have my number?
