Today is Thursday. No soccer, no boy scouts, no piano. Yeah. My big plans are to watch a movie in my bedroom tonight. Lisa had to put her dog down today. He was 14. He had suffered a stroke. I watched her boys while that was going on. Her husband Tim left for Florida this morning before all of this came about. At least she has her Mother here.

My kids were driving me crazy today. They wanted to go to the pool, to the park or anywhere. I did not feel like it and was watching Trevor and Max. I certainly was not taking four kids swimming. Besides which the pool is like ice water. I think it only got up into the 70's today.

I am torn about summer coming. On one hand it will be nice to sleep in and not have to rush around getting ready for school. On the other hand Jared and Katie will make me nuts wanting to be entertained 24/7. Having children was my number one priority. Now I advise people to heed that old chinese proverb. Be careful what you wish for you just might get it.
