The Tank Is Full

Last night, I was furiously shopping the in-ter-net when I looked over my shoulder to see The Mr staring contentedly at his "smart" phone. 

"Are you reading the news again?"

"Yes."

"Why don't you put the laundry away.  I'm pretty sure that basket of clothes has been sitting there since the day I got back in town."

"No.  I put away all the laundry from that weekend."

"Yes you did.  Except for that last load that was chillaxin' in the dryer."

Silence.

More silence.

Even more silence.

Wait for it.................





"So, what have you been doing when the boys are in school?"  he asked innocently.

Guess my "filling-the-lazy-tank" days are officially over.  Now I'm grieving their loss.

Me Time!!

I mean, Back To School Time! It's this first week that I am completely selfish and don't care even the tiniest bit about my children's education. I just want to dance and laugh because finally, finally I have 3 hours all to myself (assuming #3 takes naps that long, which he has so far *fingers crossed*.) I know, I'm a horrible mother. You already knew that! Remember when #1 nominated me for Worst Mother of the Year Award (daily??) I won!

What am I going to do with my three hours? Blog, duh. Nap, duh. Eat junk food and watch bad television, duh. All summer I thought of all the furniture I was going to recover and refinish; all the projects that have been sitting in the basement since we've had children were going to be completed! Then school actually started and I had to refill my "lazy" tank (like a love tank, it was getting waaaaay too low, lol!) Maybe next week, right?

#1 on the First Day of School (half-day)

Walking to school on the official First Day of School (full-day)

#3 refuses to be left out of anything.  Honestly.

#1.  The Experienced Veteran 2nd Grader.

There was some confusion among the ranks.

More confusion.

Slightly less confusion.

You can just hear his sigh, right?

Finally!  He hates art projects.  And I forgot to crop the photo.

One for laughs.  I mean, how could I not post this one?? #cropfail2

Stay tuned for my next blog post...........in another three months.
