St. Patrick’s Day, I pinched all the kids because none of them were wearing green, that started a pinch session where they were trying to pinch each other, probably a mistake on my part. Lesa went into the office today so it was me and the kids. I worked until 3a this morning trying to get some maps done by midnight California time. I only got three hours sleep and was working at 6a again when Lesa left for work. Dwyane and Bruce snuggled together again last night and they were the first ones to come stumbling out, followed by Ashley, and finally Dillan. I put on a movie called Hachi: A Dog’s Tale, a very sad movie indeed, there was sniffling all around. While they watched the movie they were distracted enough for me to get some map processing started and time to take a half hour cat nap. Lesa was a little upset when she found out they sat in front of the TV all morning. I didn’t want to deal with the hassle of fixing lunch or hear them fighting over lunch so I gave them the option to pick their own poison. Didn’t expect a fight, figured it’d be Wendy’s because of the Frosties, but they wound up fighting over McDonald’s and Steak ‘n’ Shake, the latter won because they have better shakes. I avoided the hassle but not the bickering. We ate at the abandoned park on 5th and headed home. I made the kids go out and I worked some more. Lesa got off half-an-hour early so she’d be home in time for me to take Bloom to her vet appointment at 3:30p, Ashley went with, Bloom is good for a year – all her shots, rabies, etc. but at six months it’s spay time. There was a Great Dane there that was very intimidating to a little puppy so she froze and wouldn’t move and I had to carry her past. We had supper and I tagged along with Lesa and the kids to get mail, Dillan and Bruce rode Big Wheels down the hill, they’re so crazy. We spent the evening watching a movie called Snowflake, the White Gorilla about an albino gorilla. I slept through the movie. When the movie was over the kids went to bed and I went back to work. I finally got my maps finished at 2a and now I’m unwinding and thinking about bed.
