Saturday= NO SCHOOL
Saturday= SOCCER GAMES
Saturday + Rain = NO SOCCER
No soccer + Saturday = NO FREE ENTERTAINMENT
No free entertainment + Saturday + Rain = STUCK AT HOME
No school + Rain + No Soccer + Stuck at Home + Four Kids = PRISON SENTENCE
I don't even have the energy to write a full sentence. This is as good as it gets. I finally have that cold that everyone has complaining about. I remember thinking the other day how lucky I was to not have the "back-to-school cold" all of my other mother friends had. Now here I am three days later with a stuffy nose and a sore throat and four kids home bound with no soccer. Every mother's dream weekend. At least if it were during the week I could sneak in a nap to recover, but now I have to find the strength to make sure my children keep the peace. ( I was going to say not kill each other, but that sounds so harsh and is truly an exaggeration) If I were a good mother, I would be finding an art project for them, but it seems like anytime I allow them to do unsupervised art projects our house becomes part of the medium, and I definitely do not have the energy to be scrapping glue and paint off of furniture. I considered pulling a few board games out, but that only leads to competition which = fighting! Oh, look another math equation. Let me find a positive solution.
2:15 pm Saturday + 7 hours = BEDTIME
Bedtime= SANITY
Sanity= SALVATION

Ahhh haaa! The mudline is evil sometimes. Then again when you have an 8 o'clock a.m. game on a rainy day, on occasion you beg to hear those words "all fields are closed". Atleast in my case I guess, but I don't have a toddler anymore like you do! I just try and go back to sleep or just lay there like a zombie. Unfortunately we still had an afternoon game, thanks to the articial turf creators of the world for ruining my entire day of laziness! It ended up being a good thing though, we won 1-0, wven with some bad calls.
Hopefully, your sanity stays with you today. Monday is just around the corner so on that day, nap when he naps.
Geex! I think I feel a sore throat coming on too!
