Instead of Making Jewelry

Today, I’m doing something really important “instead of making jewelry” . I’ve got a house full of boys, Scooby-Doo, Mac Cheese and Xbox. Orion only wants to watch Scooby-Doo and thanks to TiVo he gets to. Kael wants Mac Cheese for every meal (Macaroni and Cheese for those of you who don’t speak 3-year-old). Hunter is helpful but 12-year-old bored. We’ll make dinner together so he gets some knife time.

Today, I -

Woke up to Orion saying “Get up Grandma” at 7:30 after being up and down all night with Kael not feeling well and missing Mama.
Played video games with Orion (he’s 3 and beats me).
Watched Scooby-Doo, Sponge Bob and Mickey Mouse until I can sing the theme song.
Mopped up an inch of water from the bathroom floor after the boys filled the toilet bowl with several handfuls of toilet paper. I had to stick my hand in and pull the clog out before I could get the waterfall to stop.
Had the twins “help” me load the washing machine.
Mopped up more water from a highly rambunctious “coffee time.”
Played hide-and-go-seek until my ankle hurt.
Rescued Kael – he had his foot caught in the banister.
Took the candy thermometer away from Orion. Don’t even know where that came from.
Got kissed dozens of times and told “put me down Grandma” and “be nice Grandma”.
Laughed over and over again.
Realized my day was perfect.
