I don’t want to send teens out on the road during the heavy drinking hours.
I’ve got #1 and his girlfriend planning activities; #2 and his girlfriend planning food; #3 playing pesky little brother to make sure that #1 and #2 don’t disappear into their bedrooms with their girlfriends tomorrow during the day while I’m at work.
He is basically being paid to be himself, and rat his brothers out. How sweet of a deal is that?
As for me, I’m working. There is no snow to hinder my drive to work, so I leave before the sun comes up, and get home after the sun goes down. I usually leave for work at about 7 in the morning, and I get home at about 6:30 in the evening. I anticipate needing to leave earlier and get home later after the first of the year when the light holiday traffic becomes a thing of the past.
Boy am I looking forward to the new facility being built closer to where I live. Too bad it won’t be done until 2012. Until then I’m looking forward to Hubby getting home so I can start taking the train to and from work and cut about a half hour off my commute each way.
OK, enough grumbling for now; I haven’t tried to trap any of the kids in their rooms for “the sex talk” in a while. It’s about time to do that again.
For those out there with younger kids, this is more effective in a moving car. They can’t get away from you that way.
