Whistle While You Work

Not sure why I have that phrase on my mind today but I do. Last night was a bit tiring. Right after work I meet Courtney to take Tia to her class and then Thomas and I sat in the car and waited for her to get done. Thomas was reading the Adventures of Diaper Baby and it sure is goofy and quite full of good ole potty humour. It was actually quite disgusting but then again to a boy I am sure it is just awesome. Tia done and we head back to the house to make dinner, do homework and eventually take a bath. Nothing seemed to go quite the way I wanted. Thomas didn't want to do his homework and they both wanted to help cook. So to bribe Thomas I told him he needed to do a few sentences then he could help cook or get things for me. I'm glad he wanted to help but I wanted him to be just as enthused about his homework but he just isn't and it appears to be an ongoing problem. Tia was happy to be playing with the dishes but she also wanted to help. So I cut the chicken into bits, Thomas and Tia both cut peppers up. They both did a great job with that. Then we got to the garlic and they had fun crushing it and putting it in the press. Boy did we smell...good, but strong...and it left a sticky film on our hands. Washed up...more homework for Thomas and I rolled up the enchiladas , heated them up and then we ate. Well I ate, Thomas picked at his food and Tia wanted to eat quesadillas. I made some for her and all she ate was the cheese and then proceeded to throw a piece at Thomas. Just a fun filled evening. After that I told them that we could do the jets and have a big bubble bath. I thought they were not too bad...but now I remember why I haven't done that special treat in a long time.
They just get too crazy and they sure did...but they had fun and I enjoyed watching them play except for the times when they were attacking each other. Finally in pj's and finally quiet, watching a bit of TV before bed. Court got home later then I would like and headed home quite tired.
Back at work this morning and a bit tired...but doing well. Big News to come soon.
