So...can I tell you about Friday!?!

Remember my terrified post from Friday?

So...

My son dropped them a little after 7:30 am. Oh, they were excited. They were little bundles of energy. They were adorable but I was not fooled by those sweet exteriors.

I hugged them. I kissed them. They hugged me. They kissed me. They hugged the weiner dog. The weiner dog licked them. This went on for about 3 1/2 minutes. It was a true love fest. My fear started to fade away.

I laid down the rules. You know? We are not eating all day long. We are picking up after ourselves. We are being polite. We are not bickering. We are going to have fun!

It went well.

I had made a big plate of cut-up fresh fruit, bought some hard rolls (they love these just plain - no butter or anything.

While two of them played in the living room with Barbies the third helped me make scrambled eggs.

They ate like starving truck drivers. They politely cleaned their dishes off the table.

The Grandma's helper showed up!

They liked her. She liked them.

They talked.

They walked the dog.

They went for a bike ride.

They talked.

They played basketball.

They played with Barbies.

They talked.

We read some books.

They asked for a snack.

They talked.

Mr. Jenny came out and asked how things were going. I told him, "GREAT! I am totally under control here and I'm not even exhausted!"

He got a funny look on his face.

"Ummmm...Jenny, you do know that is only 9:15 don't you?"

WHAT?

WHAT???????

Are you kidding me.

Only one hour and forty five minutes had elapsed!!!!

ARE YOU FREAKIN' KIDDING ME!!!!????

Alas, he was not.

They swam.

They talked.

They helped me pick tomatoes and ate every single one we picked.

And talked with their mouths full.

We did math and language worksheets I had printed out.

We had lunch.

At 11:10.

They were starving.

At 1:00 Mr. Jenny took us all to see Shrek.

They ate.

A lot.

They whispered.

I tried to calculate how many WW's points were in the skittles I kept stealing from one of them.

I gave up even caring about how many points were in the candy.

I kept dozing off in the movie.

They went home at 3:45.

On the way to meet our son, they talked.

I was sound asleep at 7:31 pm.

Snoring by 7:32 pm I suspect.

At the next morning's soccer game they all attacked me!

"Grandma, Grandma, Grandma!" they yelled, "Can we come over today, we miss you!"

"Ummmm," I told them, "I'm sorry but Grandma has stuff to do today."

The little one said, "What stuff Grandma?"

I told her I was going to fall into an exhausted coma. But I don't think she got it.

And...

GULP!

Tomorrow is Monday.

OK. It's not gonna be that bad. The little one has preschool, the older two are going to my Mom's so I can get billing done for Mr. Jenny AND they have piano lesson from 1 until 2.

Seriously...it can't be that tiring again.

Right?

RIGHT?????

Answer me, darn you.

And please lie.

Sigh...

PS I wonder if this means I will lose 9.5 pounds at WW's this week? Oh, yea...I forgot about the skittles.

Double sigh...
