I finally sent the
boys back to their room because they pissed me off so much!! Then once we all
got back up we just hung out all morning - the kids watching TV and me in my
bed reading. Finally at about 11AM I couldn't take the fighting anymore and
sent everyone outside!! Then after lunch I told the kids to get ready to go in
the pool! But as I was getting sunscreen on Gman's face I found a deer tick
on his cheek right by his ear - amazingly I didn't freak out!!
I had S get
my tweezers and I just plucked it out!! Then of course I had to check everyone
else for ticks - I didn't find anymore. Then I finished putting sunscreen on
everyone and they headed to the pool! About an hour later as I'm relaxing on
the deck Gman comes running up and says there is something wrong with the
pool - as I round the building I see the "pump" has fallen off/out
and water is pouring out of the skimmer! CRAP!!! So I fix that and get soaked
in the process!!! The kids got out at almost 3PM because a storm was coming and
then it proceeded to rain the rest of the day!! We left the house at about 4PM
to run to Wal Mart so R could get a present for her friend Hannah and then
we dropped her off at Hannah's house for a sleepover. Then I took the rest of
the kids to Mickey's for dinner and then to KMart to get candy because we were
headed to the movies. The boys and I saw How To Train Your Dragon 2 and S saw The Fault In Our Stars, by herself! Our movie ended about 45 minutes before
hers so the boys and I ran to Dunkin Donuts to get donuts for breakfast and
then to McDonald's for drinks. Then back to the mall to wait for S. She was
done at about 9:30PM - CJ and Gman had both fallen asleep. We came home
and I stuck the boys in bed and now I'm headed to my room to read and then fall
asleep!!!
