Summer was working at the shop, so I was in charge of keeping them alive again. I figured letting them sleep was probably my best chance. When they finally did wake up, I warmed up some leftover brats for them. It was surprisingly fuss-less all day, but they were completely enthralled by\u00a0<em>Criminal Minds<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Summer called after a little while and had me take her some eggrolls I had just warmed. Neither of the girls cared enough to leave the house, so I just dropped off the food and returned right back home. I didn&#8217;t try very hard to get them to do anything, so I just kind of milled around cleaning up my own things while they binged their show. I tried making some stock from an old leftover chicken carcass, but added too much water and was left with the LaCroix equivalent of chicken soup. Eventually I got a shower so I could take them home to do the same, but was told they wanted to spend the night with a friend, so Summer came to get them instead.<\/p>\n<p>After only a little attitude, we agreed to go to my parents&#8217; house for dinner as we had previously arranged, and then Summer took the girls home to clean up. I followed behind to take them to their friend after they finished cleaning up, and then Summer met me back at my house after her workout. I got a little\u00a0<em>Into the Breach<\/em> in before we watched a couple episodes of\u00a0<em>The Office<\/em>. I cooked down my soup too, but I think this time I boiled off too much of the water and was left with a muddy looking broth. It tasted alright, but still seemed not worth the effort. I&#8217;ll have to try that again, only better somehow.<\/p>\n<p><em>It&#8217;s a great play about crushed dreams.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Somehow I managed to beat the kids out of bed today.
