PJ kinda day

Today was a laid back day. Why, because the one native who sets the tone for the day decided to get up at 8:30 instead of 6:30-7am! He had everyone oversleeping! Hubby was supposed to be out the door at 5:30 and the rest of us were just sleeping according to his whim. Which was nice. He lulls us into a comfortable place and then BAM! He wakes us up 2 hours early just to keep us in check, because after all, we are here for him. So we ended up staying in pajamas all day. Yep, pajamas were the dress of the day. The older boys and the natives as well as myself didn’t change until we had to, which was bath time for them and around 3 for me and the oldest. Nothing I love better than having less clothes to wash and I have tons everyday because the oldest is usually a diva with 5 changes scheduled for the day. So, the teenagers walk around all day in shorts and no shirt, natives in diapers and me in yoga pants and shirt…no bra.

I should probably wear a bra all the time as my boobs are already hanging down to my belly button and soon I’m sure they will be lower and look like I have…well…balls. And who really wants to see that? I know picturing it is probably putting you in a tailspin as it is. I mean a sports bra would do wonders, of course, I really don’t do any sports so it’s probably a waste of material as well as I don’t have much to put in them.

OK, enough about me, A1 had a baseball game today. A double header. I, of course get there late. Why? Because I always get there late. It’s my middle name of course so I might as well live up to it and he knows I will be late. I like to give him that time to hit the home runs so I can walk up and all the other parents can tell me what a great hit I missed. I live for those moments since I’ve been late to all his games for the last 5 years. I didn’t take the natives because their bedtime was 2 hours into the game and as you’ve just read, I’m always late so hubby got to stay with them tonight. Yep, I got a few hours to myself, well not really myself, more like 70 other people and foul balls to dodge for about 5 hours. 

At the end of the first game, my son’s team wins so I text my husband to tell him the good news. I get the usual duplicate text back, “K”. Then I remember A1 has a job!!!! Yes!!! So I text hubby back and tell him since I know he’s getting the natives ready for a bath and instead of a duplicate text of “K” back, he calls. You’re probably thinking it’s easier to just talk instead of texting, right? Wrong! He called to tell me my daughter, Z, has poop a turd as long as her arm in the potty! Yep, we parents live for these moments. This is the conversation. “Z wouldn’t sit in the bathtub, so I put her on the potty chair and she poops and then jumps up! She shot off that chair! Then she cried for a second until the music played and then she laughed and sat back down. So when you sent the next text, I lost the picture of her poop!” Yep, my children need music to feel accomplished at something, lol, AND he was gonna send a picture of it!!! They are my life obviously as well as my husband’s since he called to tell me Z did number 2 on the potty and it scared her! I'm still shaking my head that he was gonna send me a picture of a turd while I was at a ball game. Hey, I know my life is boring but…I could also say my life is never dull.

As soon as I get home, hubby tells me again about the bathroom with facial expressions and the reenactment to boot. Hey, I’m just glad they got baths in the tub instead of the pool! At least tonight they got soap and shampoo instead of chlorine. Another thing I liked about going out is I didn’t have to vacuum!!! Yep, hubby didn’t mind since there aren’t any snakes in the house (at least I hope not), so the cereal, doritos, and shredded cheese got vacuumed up by someone other than me!!! I call that a win-win. See, the family knows I win at everything so they’ve given in years ago and just follow my lead and the natives will learn it soon enough. I told you they weren’t stupid…slow, but not stupid. Plus the teenagers will eventually marry and their wives job of training them will have already been done. You welcome future daughter in laws. 

Best thing about today? I got 4 newspapers with coupons and I cut them out when I got home from the games. I am going shopping this week…with all the kids so I can make the most of the sales. I have 2 stacks at least 2 inches tall to sort through still. Yep, I’m aiming to have a room that looks like those ladies on Extreme Couponing! Except where they got ALL their stuff for free, my stuff will be worth $10,000 and I’ll have paid $5,000 for it, lol.

One more day survived. WooHoo!!
