After a treacherous errand run on the slick and freezing roads I vowed not to drive for the rest of the day.
My son came home from school, “Mom, Can I go to my friend’s house.”
My simple response was, “No.”
“But. why?”
“Did you not see the car that ran into the tree? Or the other car that fish tailed onto the curb?”
“That is why?”
“But. Mom!”
“No Buts. We are in for the night!”
It was by this time I realized that I failed to teach my children the visible signs that we are in for the night. So I made this special list to save them from dashed hopes with the event they expect me to drive them somewhere in a middle of a snow storm.
So it is this random list of clues that would indicate to my children that we are not going anywhere for the rest of the night. If they are lucky we might order pizza delivery!
What random clues do you display when you are in for the night?
Usually once I’m home from work… I’m home for the evening, but it’s guaranteed if I pour myself a glass of wine or make a cocktail.
A cocktail or two is an important part of a healthy diet
My daughter and I get in jammies and light candles all over the house. If we’re forced to go out, we stay in jammies, but we accessorize them with a belt or a scarf.
I think that is an excellent idea! I should accessorize my pj’s more often!
Stretch pants.
Snuggled into corner of the couch.
Watching Netflix.
Unwilling to answer question, look at them blankly till they go away.
I should stop answering questions! Good – thinking
Watching Netflix, Hello Kitty Pajamas, Restoration Hardware Throw (veryyyy soft!), Scraggly hair and most importantly, the COUCH (where I park myself for the duration of the day)! Love the post!
Thank you! It is the best place to relax
What are Turkish delights?
A little taste of heaven
They start selling them in the stores around now for Christmas.
My clues are unsettlingly similar, Belle
You gave me a lovely chuckle this Saturday…
I’m glad to make you chuckle!
Mine would be pajama pants and an empty bottle of vodka.
I kid, I kid. It’s totally gin.
Gin is perfect for fending off the mosquitoes
They know I’m in for the night when I put on my pj’s, comfy slippers and robe… that’s it, point of no return. I can’t use the icy roads as an excuse though… we don’t get them.
I’m jealous of your beautiful weather!
I get into my pajama bottoms. Ha, it’s pretty much like everyone elses here.
It must be a blogging trend
When I take out my contact lenses, it’s over!
I forgot to add that one to the list!
Ha! – love it. For me it is putting on my PJs – not going anywhere.
It seems to be a blogging trend
I love those clues!
Thank you
