When we sit down to eat at the table - which currently involves a coffee table with a tablecloth thrown over... one day I'll have real furniture - I always ask the guys three questions:
"What did you learn today?"
"What was your favorite part of the day?"
and
"What was your least favorite part of the day?"*
Today the eldest could find nothing wrong with the day. Eventually he decided his least favorite part was dying in a video game. "Yes, death by pit scorpion will put a damper on one's day," I said.
T could only think that Language Arts was too long. I decided that waiting in line roughly a billion years to pick up my prescription at the Walgreens was kind of annoying.
My project is done ahead of schedule, we had dinner, there's clean laundry, my errands are run, a cabochon was purchased, we turned up that annoying Party Rock song that they love so much and shuffled/club danced all over the living room before bed.** They're ahead on schoolwork tomorrow. My house is still a wreck, but you know, project. I've given up on having a clean house until after grad school.
What I'm saying here is that we all got through Monday with no great disasters or anything. It was nice. I like it when there are no disasters.
* - the last two were shamelessly yoinked from my bb a few years back. Whenever we would eat with their family, her youngest son's answer was inevitably "WHEN AVERY TOBY COME OVER!!" Adorable!
** - I imagine that when the kids go to a club for the first time they'll look at the gogo dancers and be like "... she kinda dances like my mom." Sorry, guys.
