After running last night, I took what may be my last opportunity to run this week.  Chuck is going out of town till Saturday, and I'll still have the extra kids till he comes back.  I may be able to finagle a run on Friday if my bro-in-law takes the kids to the farm.  We'll see.

It was hot, but not as hot as last night.  It will be mid 90s again today...

That is hot. Good luck with the extra kids.

Spank 'em and send 'em to their rooms.

Watching extra kids by yourself sounds awful. I think after a few hours I would pretty much just lock myself in a room and let them do whatever they wanted.

Brutal--all the kids and the heat!

Spank them and send them to their rooms for 45 minutes while I run. Sounds like a plan.

But really, they haven't been too much extra effort. Only around lunch and dinner time. And when my niece pooped her pants while we were out last night. But with that, I just cleaned her up, threw away her underwear, and let her go commando for a while. No harm, no foul.

Are you done with the extra kids yet?

I got finished w/ the extra kids on Sunday morning. Now back to regular life.
