It started out with 6 four and five year olds, and it&#8217;s grown into an out of control group of nine (I think) boys.  Each Thursday we look forward to an hour and a half of kid free time while the boys go and trash someone else&#8217;s house.  Unless it&#8217;s your week, and then you have to entertain, corral, control, feed, and keep track of the herd of little boys.  <\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s almost 11:00, and I just checked the calendar to see who the lucky mom is, who gets to host the play group today.  It says &#8220;playgoup&#8211;me.&#8221;  What?  I&#8217;M hosting play group?  Crap.  It would be helpful to look at the calendar before the actual day, and see what&#8217;s going on.  <\/p>\n<p>Good thing I didn&#8217;t just start some huge time sucking project, or make plans to run some errands during that time.  And it&#8217;s a good thing it&#8217;s nice weather outside.  I guess I can work on the garden or the yard while the kids run around and play in the back yard.  I&#8217;d better make sure I have Capri Suns and goldfish crackers on hand.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Thursday is play group day around here.
