WEEKENDS

Weekends at my house are insane. Just think my 4 kids plus My Man's 3 kids and then my best friend (T) is staying with me with her 2 kids. So 9 kids + 3 adults = insane. This past weekend was a little boring though. Yeah I know I go to work and they ask how my weekend was and when I say boring they look at me like I have 6 heads or something. "How can it be boring with all those kids". Well we usually have things planned for the weekends and when we don't they are boring. Lets take this past one for example. Friday I got out of work, grabbed Gymnast from practice. We had hamburgers, hot dogs, and salad for dinner which T cooked and had ready when we got there. It was so nice outside that the kids put together the trampoline - Talk about independent! and they played on it until 9ish. MY Man got out of work early and was home by 10 so I started putting the 6 kids through the tub, medications and bed. by 11 dishes were done all the kids were sleeping and we were debating as to whether to go out for a few drinks since T had to work nights Sat & Sun. After deciding that I really didn't want to go wash up just for a drink I sat on the couch and vegged until I fell asleep around 12. My Man woke me up and we went to bed. The next morning we woke at 9:15 when he realized he was late getting his kids. So he left I did the med thing, and started the day with getting everyone dressed. Yeah I know kind of late but where we live my parents live on one side of us and on the other no one is every home so the kids run around outside at all hours in PJ's if I let them. Once My Man got back with his 3 T went and got Her Guy and his kid (little man). So now there was 4 adults and 10 kids (WOW). Everyone just hung out. My Man and I went with the two oldest boys to get oil changes in our vehicles and T went to the park with Her Guy and the rest of the kids. About 5 we decided we needed to start dinner so guess what - we cooked out again. (No dishes who am I to complain?) T went to bed around 8 and I started to do the bed thing again around 9 so by the time she got up at 10 they were all sleeping. Sunday was pretty much the same as Saturday with all the kids playing with each other and me and the other adults just puttering around the house or yard getting this or that done but no one really noticing. At 9 last night all the little ones were in bed and the 2 oldest ones were finishing their homework for this morning. So let me ask you - it is a boring weekend or what? I think I am thinking about road trip real soon or I am going to die of boredom.
