It's been such a long couple of weeks. I am worn down to nothing. I'm working Saturdays and long hours during the week. The phones are going crazy at work because it's prom/spring sports season. I have to visit a customer, arriving in Dallas Saturday night, returning Sunday night. I'm just.plain.tired.
This is the time of year when every school bombards us with programs. Band programs, choir programs, science fairs, church programs....whatever. There is something to do every night, it seems. I enjoy watching my children in these events, but not the rest of the kids. I'm a horrible person.
Tonight, Kevin had to go to night court, due to witnessing an accident. It is reading night at the school, which is 1 1/2 hours of being read to. I'm so tired. I was dreading it all the way home. Then, I formed the plan.
I told the girls I'd bribe them. They were game. "The family feast from Pizza Hut (grandma had a coupon) which includes 2 large pizzas, a family sized order of breadsticks, and a 2 liter of Dr. Pepper, in exchange for the night at the school. Deal, or no Deal?" The resounding shout was "DEAL!"

Haaaaaaahahahahaha...I love you. Science Fairs are the single most boring event I can think of.

Very smart idea. It doesn't take long to get burned out with school events.

Kudos on your excellent parenting and coping skills! I took a sick day on Thursday because I'm getting too close to "crazy time". Pizza would have been a good option too.

LOL, I think we graduated from the same parenting school! No worries, Reading Night vs pizza...pizza wins everytime!!!

Laughing at your bribe. I've been known to do that. I know you are worn out. I hope you get some time off. A person needs their weekends.
