Schools Out! I go pick up the kids from school and end up bringing home two additional kids that aren't mine and shipping one of mine off to someone else's home. The joy of playdates!
We walk in the house take our shoes off in the laundry room and our two guests promptly walk into a puddle of pee left by our dog -- wipe up the pee, rummage through drawers for clean socks. Now it's snack time. Carter's friend has a very restricted diet due to severe nut allergies. The friend has an apple while the other three eat a bag of cheetos, pudding, fruit, whatever they can get their hands on. At one point I notice Carter has found a bag of Croutons which he is eating -- along with his friend -- he says "I checked the ingredients -- they are fine." I'm not so sure...I stand by ready with the EpiPen.
My parents stop by with their friends from Michigan who are visiting -- I would love to spend time catching up with them all -- so we sit down together in the living room as I frantically try to clear the "stuff" off the couch, floor, chairs. The phone rings, the doorbell rings -- now the neighbor boy is also in my house, my cell phone rings, Taryn's friend wants a movie, Taryn wants to play with the boys, Paige's piano teacher comes to the door -- oops forgot it was piano lesson day -- Paige isn't here -- I apologize profusely, Taryn's friend's dad is at the door to pick her up -- I hand him pee soaked socks (I didn't even think to put them in a plastic bag -- just wet socks.) I give hugs to my parents and their friends who have decided to bolt. Can't say that I blame them. I wish they'd take me with!
