Due to a trifecta of summer break, water restrictions due to a huge water main break, and some wicked thunderstorms, my children are absolutely crazy. I can't do laundry or wash dishes, we have to minimize flushing the toilet (!), pools are closed, they can't go outside and play, we have to boil our damn drinking/tooth brushing/hand washing water, and I'm going crazy! We have paper plates and plenty of bottled water, so we're fine there, but I am losing my sanity.
During dinner, Little Man, who screams just like a girl, yelled "Hey! Let's all scream loud enough to break the windows!" I Said NOOOO! But they did it anyway. Then I yelled at them. Then they did it again. I'd had enough.
Dinner was over, and I marched them up and put them to bed. When we got upstairs, Trout looked at the clock and said "But, Mom, it's only 6:55 pm."
Close enough.
I am feeling like a not so good friend as I am laughing right now, but I am laughing at the thought of Kaden saying the same thing.
Only thing is, I would not be tough enough to leave them there all night...were you?

I think I'd be looking to stay at a hotel with an indoor pool until things are fixed.
