6:40 pm – back to house; have boys help take the trash to the top of the driveway for trash day tomorrow.

6:47 pm – serve dinner – Chili Mac – Yummy! Talk about nonsense at dinner (There’s a country in Africa called Chad - maybe LMS should marry a boy named Chad and live in Chad so she can say ”this is my husband Chad and we live in Chad Africa” – TS1 has a friend named Chad – There’s a country in Europe called Transylvania – if the governor says they can be out of school they can be out – etc…)

7:10 pm – Clean up kitchen, unload and load dishwasher.

8:47 pm – watch tv

8:56 pm – realize Mr. S is recording some dorky program and the dvr is about to switch over to that so I can’t watch “Keeping up with the Kardashians” (seriously…which is more important here?) (and does anyone know how to make the DVR switch which one it’s recording on?)

8:57 pm – fix it so Mr. S’s show records at a different time and continue watching my show

9:25 pm – decide I’m too tired to stay up and wait for Mr.S to finish his gallivanting around up in Minnesota for a good night call and just text him that I’m going to bed.

9:31 pm – climb into bed with the next best thing besides Mr. S – Edward and Jacob

10:56 pm – realize that I fell asleep with Mr. Cullen and Mr. Black and the light on – turn that off and fall to sleep for good.

Good night!
