Short entry today--the kids (four with Zach's friend) hung out and played all morning, while I worked on house stuff. Exciting stuff going on, but no news to share yet. It got tense in that Witching Hour around lunch time, so I took them out to Chick-Fil-A for lunch, and we went to Blockbuster to rent a new Star Wars video game for Playstation 2 (okay, that's enough endorsements for today!).
Unfortunately, the Playstation broke, or they couldn't get it to work (and Mommy knows nothing about anything with power cords in this house), so they ended up playing dodge ball down in the basement--I could hear it all, right down to the screaming when the boys ganged up on Haleigh or Tiger got frustrated.
We reached MELTDOWN late afternoon--almost ended up driving the friend home (no fault of his, he's a good kid, mixed in with my three oil & water hooligans!)(and I say that affectionately), and then I would have brought my three home and put them to bed by 5pm! Tiger was very tired and cranky today, so I'm very tired and cranky tonight...We managed to work out our differences this afternoon, and we went swimming at the city pool at Piedmont Park--yet another adventure, and it was fun. We took the friend home, after two hours at the pool, and made it home by 7pm.
I tried to take the evening off, but no such luck--helped Zach pack for a week away at Camp Joan, swimming and golfing and playing tennis with his great-Aunt, while her grandson, who is just a year older than Zach, is visiting her for a couple of weeks during the summer. Both boys look forward to it every summer for the last three or four years. They have all kinds of fun, and I know he's safe and happy at Camp Joan's...but I'm going to miss my baby!
Oh! The Jeep PASSED! We are going to pick her up tomorrow morning (Daddy is driving us up there before work--no public transportation again so soon!), and then straight to the county office for registration--we'll finally be legal! And they fixed the AC, so we'll be cool, too!!
Day 17 Total = $25
($20 lunch for 5, and $5 to get in the pool - We took our smaller cooler with drinks and snacks at the pool.)
