I warned the kids that I would blog about them today. I almost forgot too. While trying to fight boredom on Sunday, my 16 year-old daughter jumps up on the coffee table and starts singing into my hairbrush - off tune. Meanwhile, I was trying to read No Plot? No Problem!, while my 10 year-old gave me a hair-do. This was not easy considering she was ripping my hair out. My 8 year-old daughter was sitting on the couch, painting her toe nail with a purple sharpie. That was after I caught her drawing on the palm of her hand with it. It was a permanent sharpie no less.
Finally, they broke out Hullabaloo and got some of their energy out. A game of Upwards followed that. Phew! No more singing.
And they think I'm crazy!

Wear it out,
Make it do,

Balancing Life
In my midst of walking for 60 minutes, it became the hardest when I hit 45 minutes. I read No Plot? No Problem! up to that point. I decided to put my headphones on and turn up the volume, which indeed pumped up the speed. Thank you Toby Mac!
Before that, I decided to get up early and write. Well, that didn't work out so well. The two younger kids were up at the crack of dawn - bugging me! Talk about torture. Hrmmmph! Give them a day off of school, and they wake up early - too early. Give them a school day, you can't get them out of bed.
