Well, as I suspected, the Pheasant never happened. I work at 6 pm and figured it was a bad idea to attempt to cook something new when I have such a limited time. I will let you know how it turns out.
Today I became RoboMom. I don't know what kind of kryptonite they got into today but they were fit to be tied. Now 7 people produce a LOT of laundry. The laundry is typically my baby. I actually like doing it. It is the only form of housework where I like washing sorting, folding, hanging and organizing it all. However, it is also one of the few chores that the kids can do a majority of it themselves. It has taken me awhile but I have let go of the anal tendencies and given them a little freedom in helping with the laundry.
Today however no one wanted to help! Well in all honestly they never want to help but today I couldn't even make them help. So I developed a new rule. Help willingly with the laundry when asked the FIRST time, or your laundry will be delivered to your room in a big heap on the floor. I acually manned up and did this today. I will be the first to admit these kids have a tendency to run all over me. I can't take it anymore!! I will stand my ground. So lets see how long it takes for them to realize that the clothes do not wash or put themselves away. I can do this.. I am the mom.
