Double Your Fun

by Wendy on 30 June 2009

This week I’ve been reminded why we (I) decided to have more than one kid.

Cowboy is taking his turn to go visit great-grandparents in another state.  It’s just me & Dolly here this week.

And the 6-million-questions game.

Can we play dollies? Can I have a cheese stick? Can we go water Gran’s plants now? Can we go swimming today? Can I play the Wii? Can we go to Ben & Jerry’s? Can I go play outside? Can we go to the store and get popsicles? Can I draw? Can you draw with me? Can I have a piece of tape? Can we go to the park? Can I have a new Ramona book? Can I have another cheese stick?

No single question is inherently diabolical.  But they all add up to one slightly insane mom.

The ever-constant heat advisories outside aren’t helping, either.  Trapped in the air conditioning in Houston is very similar to being trapped inside during a snowstorm in New Mexico.  I’m thinking we need a treadmill, for the kids.

You can put kids on a treadmill. They actually think it’s fun (don’t tell them it’s exercise!)

Seriously, I feel your pain. I’m stuck in the house with three surly teenagers (well, one’s a surly 21 yo).

I’m thinking there has to be an adult hang out somewhere where we can get away from these snots?

Okay, I have a plan. You bring yours over to babysit mine, and we’ll go do something fun! LOL
