Lil Bit was out and about today and decided to stop in at a friends house to visit with her friend’s little sister and grandmother. She is our social committee. I don’t know where she gets the social seeking attitude, but it does make us meet neighbors. I would be happy to maintain my waving relationship. She adores this baby, and actually did ask if I would have another baby. I told her we have Tiki and that will have to do. She just grinned. She really would make an awesome big sister…until she decided it would be more fun to torment the young sibling than to entertain. The grandmother figure asked me if I worked.

Ha.

There are some days I fantasize about being able to stay home. No worries, reality kicks in and I fully accept the fact that this is not going to happen b/c I embrace the sanity and satisfaction that my job gives me. On the other hand, by 10 PM I feel like I am starting my third shift. Bedtimes are 9:00 and 9:30 with calm down time thirty minutes before. That’s great and everything, but I have little schemers who have managed to push that time to the absolute last moment. I HAVE to get this bedtime scheme play back in my court. It is next to impossible for me to start my work before they go to bed. We come home from school, start homework and evaluate the mass murder of a forest that has taken place at school that day, play chauffeur when necessary, dinner, and then a little entertainment for them while I attempt to accomplish something around the house, then bedtime prep. Somewhere in there the big kid has to practice her drumming techniques and the little kid is going to be reading to me. Hmmm….I wonder if my American History text would suffice for her 20 minutes of reading?

By the time these guys are in bed I am ready to turn in myself. Tonight I decided to blog instead of review the American Revolution. I have first period off…let’s just hope there isn’t a class to cover.
