PJ Day

Last night, the boys and I were so warm, that I left the windows open and the fans on.  It was a blustery 57 degrees when I woke up this morning...INSIDE my apartment, but I didn't even notice until I left my bedroom and found N huddled under his comforter with his ipod.  My room gets all the sunlight in the morning, so it's always warm...the boys, on the other hand, are almost always in the shade.  I don't know why he didn't close the windows or come get me, but it was pretty dang chilly this morning.

How do we remedy that?  Hot chocolate for breakfast.  Since I dumped their hot chocolate last night, I said they could have some for breakfast, and I kept my promise.  I jumped up and down in the kitchen while the Keurig was warming up, and ran for the covers as soon as it was finished.  We spent the day in our pjs, watching movies, making snacks, playing games on the computer, and playing video games.  It was exactly the kind of day a "no school" day should be.

There were only a few occasions where things got a little out of hand, but they were fixed simply by threatening to remove video games from their lives.  I remember when my mom used to hide the Super Nintendo controllers and/or power cord from my sister and me during our summers home alone.  They were always in a different place each time, too...sneaky moms.  They sure know what they're doing!

They got in bed without incident, but when my Twinkie, Kendra, called, they quickly realized I was preoccupied with talking to her, and used that to their advantage.  Long story short, they won't be playing video games tomorrow after school, and I've removed the batteries from the controllers.  Mom plays hard ball, y'all.  It was lovely to talk to my Twinkie on her way home from seeing Rick Springfield.  She got to hear "Jessie's Girl" LIVE!  SOOOOOO jealous!

I'm in a bakering mood, so I may make some homemade chocolate chip cookies tomorrow for N's snack after school and be all domestic.  Also, my online classes start tomorrow, so I'm kind of excited to get that going again.  The deadlines and ridiculous discussion questions people post (I used to think they were joking, but now I realize...people are actually serious when they post dumb questions) kind of give me something to look forward to.

Yes, I did just admit that I'm a total nerd.

I embrace it.  You should, too.
