Spring Break-Day One

Hubby is in bed with Pneumonia,  and the boys are all fighting. By fighting I mean the 2 younger boys are being puss buckets and my soon to be 18 year old keeps telling them to shut up. Because I had stocked up on snacks and easy meal fixings and I would not let the kids eat the tortilla chips yesterday, the 5 year old started asking me if I could make nachos at 9:30 am. FOR BREAKFAST. If I close my eyes I can hear my Mom telling me and my siblings to go outside to play and she would call us when lunch was ready. I recall peeing in the woods out back rather then risk going back into the house and interrupting Mom's peace and quiet. Only I can't just send my younger kids out to play without adult supervison. They will either get kidnapped, run over, or a neighbor will call Child Protective Services. At the rate we are going we will be eating lunch by 11:30 and dinner by 2pm. If they would then got to bed by 3pm that would work for me. Except they won't. Nope. Because my kids are part Hobbit.

My husband slipped out on an IT job a few minutes ago dragging afore mentioned almost 18 year old with him. Knowing my hubby as I do, he will call before he comes home, asking if I need him to pick up anything at the store. Paper plates, I will tell him, and Valium.
