The Witching Hour.....

I am bravely blogging at 4:00pm. This is the worst time of day at the house as all the kids are now home from school and have to remember how to live with each other again. Amazingly they forget that they are not "only children" every single day and come home and want things IMMEDIATELY!! Case in Point: my son called me from school and said "oh my god. I need you to pick me up at school right now and drive me to the store right now to get project making supplies...right now."
I said " what kind of project?"
the response being "God! you think I'm lying that I just want to do this for fun? I need posterboard and glue and markers and sharpies and construction paper, and and and and...". Whoa. Ok.
so I respond "you'll have to wait until your sister gets home before I leave the house."
"how long is THAT gonna take???"
"I have no idea."
So about 20 minutes later I leave the house to get the boy and hit Rite Aid. I say "we have plenty of construction paper, glue, markers, sharpies, etc. We only need posterboard."
"I don't want the one with the stupid 'ghost lines'. I want it blank"
Now, of course they are out of blank posterboard so I end up spending $4.49 on FOAMBOARD! which has ghostlines on one side but is blank on the other. He suggests that if its such a big deal we can go to another store.
No thank you!
Now it is occurring to me that the ghost lined posterboard also has a blank side? Crap.
The bright side... I didn't buy all new project supplies as is the usual case.
So, I get home and now there are lots of teenagers here, not that it is a bad thing. It's just a noisy thing.
"Mom, what's for dinner?" has already started ruminating through the house.
"baked pancakes and eggs! with fruit!" Easy, cheap and who doesn't love breakfast??
It will all be worth it in the end, right? Kaleigh called from college today and got a 100% on her first college english essay! Hooray! Proof is in the pudding...
