Managed 2 loads of laundry for the weekend. The entire rest of the weekend was spent at inlaws playing with the kids (listening to the kids play, fight, scream, etc., while we tried to have adult conversation).

And was back over there this morning after dropping off oldest 3 at school (DS4 started today! No tears, barely a goodbye. As if he had never left. Two children so far were clinging to parents, including one little brat that was there last year. Sorry, he and his mother and grandmother annoy the hell outta me). Visited with MIL and SIL for a couple of hours. Niece, age 2, found my daughters' teeny tiny beads that they aren't allowed to bring home (MIL gave it to them for Christmas. I said "great, they can play with them at YOUR house!"). It took, I kid you not, at least 30 minutes of the three adults picking up the damn things. Ugh!

Ok, home now. Need to do my news column, then pick up the house enough to vacuum, dust, a load of laundry, and maybe mop if I'm really ambitious.

Peppered steak for dinner.
