Do you ever get tired of thinking of things to make for dinner? I sure do. You spend the time preparing it all and making sure everyone can get together to eat. Sometimes even that is hard to do. Then they all sit down, eat in five minutes and zoommm.... They are off to a practice or to do their homework or to get back onto the computer. The dinner conversation leads to a lot of one word answers.
"How was school?"
"Good"
"What did you learn?"
"Nothing"
"How was soccer practice?"
"Good"...
Then as I am cleaning up the mess, I hear them on the phone.
"Oh my gosh, did you see so and so today in math class? She was in so much trouble. She didn't even know the answers. That was so embarassing how she got caught passing a note to Emily..."
Sometimes I think I need a fun little AIM name - sOcCeRQT4U - or something to get them to talk to me. That would never work though - because I don't know the whole AIM language that they do. I am sure I would be busted in no time. "IDK my BFF Jill!"
I am lucky tonight though. TBW is cooking dinner - but I will appreciate it very much... and will even help her clean up the mess. Plus... I'll definately give her a big tip later - just sayin'
