Kids, No Nap, Time out, Prom Dress

This has been a long day.  We started out by taking Simon to the vet to get a rabies shot.  Now, that's out of the way for another year. 
Without Duke around to cause trouble, Simon was a much more relaxed dog around other animals.  If I take enough time to watch him, he seems sad and lonely; I predict a new dog in the future.  Kacey is talking about wanting a dog.

Kacey and Kristie went shopping for a prom dress, and it's beautiful.  I wish my camera on the phone worked, so I could take a picture of it and show you.  But, that's messed up and it'd probably take a new phone to get a new camera. 

K&K were gone from 11am to 8pm, and in that time, the kids were all mine.  Normally, the kids are good, but for some reason today, they had no intention of taking naps.  My boy did, as soon as I Put him in his bed, but the girls were going to have no part of it.  So, somewhere about 3pm, I gave up trying to get them to take a nap, and simply put them in the hall and put them in time out. 

See, Kristie had told them that if they'd take a nap, they'd get to go to the park, and because they never took a nap, there was no trip to the park.  Oh well, Actions have consequences.  They spent from 3 to 7 in time out.  I'd have let them out, except for some darned reason, they kept disobeying.  I'd tell them to sit down, they'd stand up and tell me no, or they'd throw a little fit, or they'd act like they just got here today. 

What I found so amusing was that normally, they want me around, but today, all they wanted was Momma.  Maybe that's because she wasn't here to put them in time out.

So, at 7:00, I fed them (Ham sandwiches and milk,) told them to put their pajamas on, and sent them to bed. 

Okay, it was a busy day, I'm tired, and I have to work tomorrow. 

Kristie has the kids tomorrow, and I work, and on Monday, Kacey goes in for a driving test.
