My Reward

I just needed to get some work done on the computer. I planned to have my kids do some mandatory quiet time today (and every day -- serious, I am going to start this), however, when I looked at my watch and it was already almost 5:30 pm I knew there was no chance mandatory quiet time would work to my favor (I do count on the kids going to sleep in the evenings and quiet time at 5:30 would send 2/3 of my family off to slumber land for sure, which would mean I am up all night trying to get them to go to bed later).

So, I just left 'em, ALL of 'em.

OK, I don't have that many kids, but I really did just quietly slip away back to my cave where I hoped to get some paperwork done for my 'other' job. Besides hearing shouts of "C is in the treat bowl . . ", I thought all was going well enough out there.

Then the girls came to visit me (in case you are wondering, I did get my paperwork done - thanks for asking). This was my "Hello":

Look carefully, the marker is across forehead and just for the record, it is all over her legs too, but that is from the other day

I do love 'em.
