hahahahahaha.....I remember those days. Shit strung out all over the house like a tornado hit, everything is sticky (and don;t ask why), you can't find anything because somebody moved (found the TV remote in the freezer once) it and there is always somebody wanting/needing something (fighting, hungry, puking, or some other issue)! I had 4 kids all spaced out about 2 years apart (yep - my own damn fault) - how I didn't jump from a bridge somewhere or deep throat a pistol I have no idea! My brother made fun of me for years about having kids.....now mine are grown and pretty much take care of themselves and now he gets to hear..."Daddy come wipe my butt" coming from down the hall!!!! Or having the dog covered in paint and markers and all that shit!!! Hahahahahah!!!!
Well Tooln - the good news is, the end is in site. So spoil'em rotten and then send them back to where they came from to drive somebody else nuts!!!!

So spoil'em rotten and then send them back to where they came from to drive somebody else nuts!!!! The wife and I are both 3rd shifters over 25 years for her and almost 30 for me. So guess what hour the kids are getting use to. Mom and Dad said 8:30 was bed time. Last night the wife started to put them down at midnight. 2 of them are napping right now so they will be up even later tonight. Got all kinds of sugary box drinks for them that their mom and dad don't give them. Love then to death but can't wait to send them home. |

Tooln,
Hang in there. It's almost over. Does your wife make the grandchildren take afternoon naps? When I was young and stayed at my grandparents they always took afternoon naps and made us kids take them. Took me quite a few years to figure out what they were up to.

Good lord - looks like they are moving out!!!! Looks like one of them found the sidewalk chalk as well. How did they teach the dog to play hop-scotch that fast? well it looks like they had a good time and will remember it for a long time. Mom and dad may not want them to come back to stay for a while because it's going to take them a week or more to get those kids back into the groove again....but hey, that's what grandparents are for!
That is what my dad tells me about my kids all the time, "It's my job to spoil them and then send them home!"

Yep we spoiled the crap out of them. The box in the back of the truck was from a lawn furniture set the wife bought a few weeks ago. I kept the box and the box my under the seat storage unit came in. I cut a hole in the big box, slid the small one into it and it became a tunnel into the fort. It was a life saver, better than any other toy we had. When it rained in came into the garage and they played in it there. I got about 6-7 hours sleep in the past 3 days all in little cat naps here and there. Drove past the 40 on the way home and didn't even stop, just wanted to get home for a nap. After work tonight I'm going to crash big time tomorrow morning. I just turned on my tablet that I take to work every night. While I was sleeping the oldest got into it and I now have match & rescue, zombie squad, crash club & toy blast loaded on it. Maybe I'll will try a game tonight on break.
PS being the smart papa that I am I sent the fort home with them and when they are done with it their dad can dispose of it.

Yep - send it ALL home with them.....then Daddy can mess with it! My son bought a snap-on tool box and we kept the box for the 2 little girls my wife watches. They turned it into a play house and love it. I have threatened to burn it twice now. One of these days it's just going to be gone....big bad wolf came and blew it away! My wifes I-phone has all sorts of girly games on it as well..... Sounds like you had a long couple of days....you will get some well deserved peace and quiet.....enjoy! |
