The fam and I went to pack my classroom today since we didn't have school. Okay, actually, DQ spent most of the time a)whining, b)arguing and c)leaving random bits of stuff all over my room. But I did get some packing accomplished. Good thing...time's a ticking.

We came home and I thought I might take a little nap. Great plan...except DQ needed me...often. First, her elbow hurt...did I think it was broken? Then her wrist hurt...could she use my icepack? Then she needed to look for something...not sure what...she couldn't remember...but she was certain it was in my room.

The kids swam and I napped (yes they had supervision...their dad watched them...bless him). DQ decided she wanted me to straighten her hair and swimming and showering. Now I would LOVE for my daughter to wear her hair down...ever. She prefers ponytails. So I jumped at the chance to straighten it thinking she was planning on wearing it long and straight for school tomorrow. (We did her nails yesterday...she would be so girly!!) She has beautiful, long hair. It took forever to dry it and then twice as long to straighten her waves out. It looked fabulous...and then...she put it in a ponytail.

I am now listening to DQ practice her piano (how many times can you play the same song??) which is much better than the screaming match I was listening to between her and flapjack before he was banned to his room. He knows her buttons and likes to push them. The current button is telling her she has muscles that feel like a bag of jello pudding...which makes me laugh...which doesn't help. And I am thinking about the summer...looming long in front of me...and I am hoping I actually get the job I have an interview for...cause it starts...THIS SUMMER!
