lunar madness

I am always amazed that when I come
here to write and read what I last wrote
it is usually a week or more in between.
Where does the time go.

We are half way through our vacation
week and I am hoping we will survive
the next few days. I am still working
this week and have been doling out
chores etc. to keep the kids busy and
to make it less stressful when I get home.
I didn't even get home before it hit the
fan.

I stopped at my office after an all day
workshop for work and saw there was
2 missed calls from home so I called to
check in. It was the hubby that had called.
Sean said he was really pissed and down at
the library waiting for the girls to show up
there. It seems that they waited till daddy
left to go pick up the boys to write a note
stating they were going on a walk in the woods
and then down to the library. If you know us you
know where we live and it was cold today 20 degrees.
So of course I went right to the library to
see what the heck was going on and the girls
were just walking down the sidewalk heading
for the library. It was just one in a couple of
selfish moves on the children's part and here it
was 4:30pm and hubby usually is in bed by 1pm.

Cut to the end when we all arrived home to a sit
down chat about how mad he was and how selfish
the kids were for a change. I piped up that this would
have been another perfect example of where a cell
phone would have come in handy on many fronts.
Well that took the focus off the kids and onto the
money which is never good. Cars dieing, roof leaking,
need heating oil don't have money for cell phones.
We will see I am going to check it out tomorrow and
get a bottom line to present to the hubby and Ian and
Sara are willing to pay the 10 a month for their phones.

Oh well tomorrow is my day off so Dave doesn't have to
worry about carting the kids around so hopefully it will
be a less stressful day.

Well I am headed outside, yes, outside to put the ponies
to bed and check out the progress of the eclipse of the moon.
The last time I saw a lunar eclipse was at my friend Sara's
house and it was quite the party.
