Having a day

I’m done for the day. It’s only 7:30, none of the kids are in bed and all of them still need someone to do “stuff” for them. Busy B needs to nurse, PK needs homework help and SB (who probably needs a new moniker since she’s in first grade now) needs a cattle prod to get her into pjs followed by a chapter of her book. I’m done anyway.

This morning I found a sandwich in PK’s bag that had been there for a minimum of 3 weeks and was growing mold on its mold. B threw my cell phone in the diaper pail. I spent an hour and a half shopping for dress pants for DH. (Do petite stores for men exist?) I’ve had to make apologetic calls to a neighbor for a rude daughter, fight with another daughter about the important of eating regularly and changed too many poopy diapers. I’m done.

All I want to do for the rest of the night is relax my butt into the couch with a glass of wine, a book and some ear plugs. I’m wondering if there’s an odds maker out there that can come up with some numbers telling me how likely is the success of that scenario.
