Ice Age: The Meltdown is on the TV and I'm the only one in the room. And I'm watching it rather than changing the channel. That could mean I either really appreciate animated movies or I don't know how to watch adult shows anymore. I have one child on the computer, one on the IPad, and the other playing with a cousin over at Grammy's, so I could change the channel. But I do like these characters and Dr. Phil will be coming on in a few minutes. And the episode will probably have sexual content viewer discretion, needing the channel to be switched over to a kids' show.
It has been a full week since school has let out for the girls. It has been a long week. My girls can't seem to entertain themselves. They probably could if I allowed them to play on the computer all day. But the rule is no more than an hour a day. Sometimes I let it slide for a few extra minutes on days when I need to keep them separated. Like today. Celeste isn't here so Sierra and Savannah follow each other just to annoy each other. I tell them to separate, so what do they do, they squeeze into the other's hulahoop space. They get that from Jared's side of the family because my side kept to ourselves when we were bored or irritable.
Well, I'm hoping today I will be less irritable this evening. I have plans for me and Jared to reconnect with dinner for two and playing tourists on the Moab strip. The girls are staying over at Grammy's house, luckily with my brother and his youngest daughter there to entertain. That means we can stay out late and have the house to ourselves - maybe even sleep in! We have been married for 15 years and I feel the need to connect with just him because all we have been doing is working and managing kids. We need to talk about something else.
