So Quinn was full of life as usually . She climbed on countertops , had a light party . Helped cook the chicken. Screamed every time the Koreans girls came in the room. And this week she packed a bag and was headed to Mexico for coffee and bean burritos .
So Katie and I picked up the girls on Saturday morning. The house was much bigger and they imagined and prettier. They loved their rooms. They wanted me to tell them which room to sleep in and I told them “Oh no ! Your grown women you decide. “ they rock paper scissor it. No joke .
We fed them Huff mama chicken and mashed potatoes and broccoli . They said in a week that’s the best food they have eaten . Well they have eaten Chartwells so that’s not saying much . Saturday, they slept in . Keeping Quinn quiet was a chore they slept in till noon . They had pancakes. Something Texas was known for , for dinner . Chicken fried steak . not impressed I must say. Milkshakes from America’s Drive in for dessert.
Monday rolled around and they refused breakfast and quickly learned their lesson. Luckily, I had a Chick Fil A cookie and a fruit cup ready when they got out of school. Spaghetti for dinner with green bean and garlic bread. You always have left overs . Who doesn’t have leftovers when they make spaghetti. Well I did not last night. They were stuffed like fat rats. I did not eat the pasta I stuck to the smoked chicken and green beans.
The plumbers arrived today . They have cut a long hole in my wall. It seems the leak is under Derek’s sink in the bathroom. Which is has complained about for over a year and poured multiple things down it thinking it was clogged. I wonder if the magic purple cleaner ate a hole in the pipe? Such a good hard water cleaner though. I might should quit using it. So hopefully when I get the girls from school he will be finished and I will have hot water and no longer have to do dishes in the pool house. No fun . This night was most shocking thing I have seen two girls and a pizza . I let them order pizza. They were watching a chick flick in the living room and when it arrived I said just put some on a plate and go to the living room and go watch your movie , you do not have to sit at the table.
I KID YOU NOT ! They divided the pizza between the two , on to two plates and went to the living room and ate the whole thing. I have never in my life seen this happen .
Finally a cold front !!! And drizzle . I really wanted rain. But I suppose I’ll take the drizzle.
My week had really been nothing but pancakes, take them to school and pick up with a snack in hand with either taking them home or bringing them up to campus . Go home and feed them . Clean up the kitchen . Do laundry , Go to bed. And repeat . Until tomorrow. I have taken the day off to get a facial . Go grocery shopping all by myself and I am in need of a manicure ! Saturday I think it’s a road trip to the Sonora Caverns. They seemed excited about it. Derek seemed bored by the idea. Ella and Jude are getting their manicures on Sunday afternoon.
Until next time darlings.
