With Hubby at a work convention for his CEUs, the boys and I are spending a lazy day at home. We haven’t done that in quite awhile as there was always somewhere to be. So far the bathroom got a deep cleaning and I am fearful the washing machine will fight back with all the attention it’s suddenly getting. And I don’t have to cook dinner because we have a lovely church dinner to go tonight.

I am quickly losing motivation to do anything else purposeful. I see an hour or so cuddling up with a book in my future. Or cuddling with my sons if they aren’t too angry about the chores they had to do.

They had a bet this week that they could go a week without fighting, without YouTube, and would have clean bedrooms by the end of the week. All that for the low wager of $20 each if successful. If the parents won, the boys had to do five chores of our choice. They’re on chore #1. Fighting gets them every time. They even fought over whether or not they had a fight. But it was pleasantly quiet around here for four days. And their rooms will still get cleaned…chore #1.
