8:39a Today is the first day that the kids got the great opportunity (!) to work on their chore lists. I laminated them. For some reason, kids really react to lamination. Sammie actually admired the plastic edges and asked, "how did you do this?" like it was plated in gold. I'll laminate everything if it means that their lists get completed!
8:40a While the kids are hard at work (getting dressed, making their beds) I was ingesting the first sips of my morning caffeine. It was nice to drink out of an actual mug and not a travel mug in the car.
10:24a Basketball Camp for the boy. When asked, he declares decidedly that he will be a professional basketball player when he grows up. This camp will be his modest beginnings that you hear about in those stories during the playoffs. Or not.
11:46a Mensa and lunch. Sammie has a Mensa calendar that she's fallen behind on. So over a nice ham and cheese sandwich, she rocks her brain. Of course, then she asks me to help. Hahahahaha.
11:47a David is way ahead on the lunch-eating process. He does not hesitate when it comes to food. You offer lunch, he practically helps himself. Oh, today he did help himself. It was a Lunchable. Of course, it had to be the kind with Oreos.
11:48a As a family, we have a terrible habit of forgetting that we just used the last piece of bread. So then, the next guy has to eat a frozen sandwich.... or a toasted one. I figured if I had to have toasted bread, I might as well slop some peanut butter on it. And put some Cheetos next to it.
12:05p On my nightstand I found this note, written by David. "Mom's chors. Let me play Wii, DS, computer every day i want." On the back it says "Sam too."
1:45p I was one with my Kleenex box today. Summer colds stink. All day I kept fantasizing about laying down and going to sleep. The more I dreamed about it, the longer the day went on.
2:37p Golf lessons for Sammie. What a picturesque day!
6:10p Karate class. This is my normal position. The kids learn "defensive stance" and "horse stance" and things like that. I practice my "reading stance". I've nearly perfected it. (50 points to whoever can guess what book I was reading.)
8:10p Another book completed! David finished this book so he gets to add a leaf to our tree and fill in a spot on the Barnes & Noble reading program form. Yay, summer reading!
8:19p After reviewing the checkmarks for the day, including books read, David gets his Tech Tickets. Who would've guessed that this would actually work!
