Today, I started this blog. I don't know why, I just did it. I think it's all Ree's fault. Not that that's a bad thing.
So, to summarize today, my husband's out of town, and I'm at home with my sons, Big Beavis (9 and a half) and Little Beavis (6); their friends, who are also brothers, Crusher (9 without the half) and Big J (6); six indoor cats, who all joined the Cat Protection Program once the boys opened the front door and entered the house; and one Rottweiler, who's thrilled to be surrounded by so many snacks-- er, boys.
When I invited Crusher and Big J to spend the night last night, their father, a good friend of mine, asked, astonished, "Are you in-SANE?" Yeah, maybe, but insanity means I'm not afraid to handle a houseful of elementary-aged boys for a night. I figure if the bozos give trouble, I'll coat them with peanut butter and let the dog at 'em.
The boys have been great. They all came home after Big Beavis and Crusher's canceled-due-to-rain baseball practice last night, played a baseball video game, watched television, and conked out. This morning, they ate donuts and begged to play pool. So, armed with donuts and pool cues, four boys are currently terrorizing nothing but a tabletop of solids and stripes. And I'm able to sit on a laptop and start a blog for people I've never met to read.
You just don't get moments like these very often, folks, so... what the heck.

Way to go on starting a blog. Love the name, but you shoulda been naming it something with baseball in it...I have a blog too, but NEVER get a chance to write...maybe today. Thanks for the inspiration! i am still learning about it so don't get too excited!
I have more blogs than I care to think about - two of which I pretty much never post to.
I should really go and update the one on velvetmermaid.net more often.
