Y'all are so productive. After training I ended up sitting in the gazebo by the barn, chatting with my volunteer coordinator for about 3 hours and now I'm home trying to cool off.

I have a bunch of paperwork to process from training and I need to start reading because SCHOOL STARTS MONDAY!

I worked today until 6, and by 6:35 there were four extra 9 year old boys in my house and now they are planning to play monopoly and eat pizza. They are spending the night. I am already exhausted and it's been 45 minutes. And I work tomorrow, too.

(I mean, I planned all this. It's Dillo's birthday party. But I still don't wanna!)

camping in the backyard sounds like a great idea for them, no?

The tent is set up!

YEAH! I like the way you think.

I vacuumed the other living room. MIght leave the rest for tomorrow, my shoulder is twinging and I am not desiring muscle spasms.

Can you put some stuff away?

For my part, I just made some cheese crackers (a little too much cayenne, but otherwise delicious) and am going to continue watching tv.

Yeah, why can't your kids put the laundry in? What is your wife doing while you are doing all this work, if I may ask?

Steph, because I am a HORRIBLE person I almost posted to your vacation pic that it is too bad FiL couldn't be there. I AM SORRY I EVEN THOUGHT IT, I AM LITERALLY THE WORST.

I just want to say that mr. flea is doing heroic boy-wrangling work. THEY ARE SO CRAZY.
