Random Notes from the Sandwich Life

I am finally getting over my cold but was still pretty wiped out last night.  Poor Ernie REALLY wanted to get out of the house though so I told him I felt good enough to go to Fries and Peanuts for a drink after work.  I wish I'd felt better because we ran into lots of people we knew as it was the first evening of the Boneyard Festival.  Saw some old friends, got to meet Angie and then ran into our beloved neighbors Vegan Linda and family who told us that when they left the boys were locked out of the house and Ricky was trying to break in.  Huh, we thought.....perhaps we should head home.....LOL

So the boys have now demanded house keys of their own and key chains.  My babies.....

What do you do when a child refuses to go to school....just refuses.....and they're too damn big to haul off under your arm anymore?  We're going with in your room ALL DAY LONG and no computer, playstation, DS etc for the entire weekend....I guess we'll think up more as we go along.  Seriously though.....what do you do?  He hates being in his room alone so this will be torture.  I had a battle with him the other day in the parking lot of the Schnuck's gas station. Of course right in the middle of it somebody I know from work drove by, paused, put their window down and waved.  I tried to smile and wave back.  Then they went to get gas so they could see the whole ugly thing.

Gotta work this afternoon (usually I have Friday afternoons off) and this evening and all day tomorrow.  Sigh.  I hate having it be Friday and you're already thinking about how fast Monday will come around....
