Some summer numbers for your day:
37 -- average number of times in a day I walk in my laundry room to close the door to the garage that is blasting 107* air into my home
38 -- average number of times in a day my children go through said door, not QUITE getting it shut so that one good gust of 107* air will blow it open
15 -- average number of times in a day you can hear me saying, "(previous response of grunt, "WHAT????", or "I know" with the understood 'duh!') is not the right answer to that. The right answer is 'Yes, Ma'am.'"
16 -- average number of times in a day you can hear me saying, "you can say 'yes, ma'am' without that attitude."
26 -- average number of times in a day I have to deep breathe and remind myself that loud, happy shrieking is better than angry shrieking
3 -- average number of minutes it takes for loud, happy shrieking to become angry shrieking
6 -- average number of times in a day everyone gets sent to their rooms, including mom.
36 -- number of hours until we leave to take little shrieking people to spend a week with Nonna and Gran'dad
5 -- number of nights little shrieking people will spend with Nonna and Gran'dad
2 -- number of little shrieking people that will keep a part of my heart with them all week while they're gone. . .
