I survived

Well last night I decided to take on my nieces.  The ages range from 10-7.  I initially planned on having three and wound up with 4.  I had big plans for them but things do not always work as planned so last night I felt like I was in the military again.  There was a ton of improvising and compromising going on.  Girls especially little ones require tons of attention and coaching.  They get together and become ADHD no attention span just buzzing full of energy like a hive of bees before they swarm.  I really did enjoy them but they are a hand full.  It gave me an opportunity to get to know them more, and for us to bond.  I missed out on most of their lives so I had a ton of catching up to do.  They all lit up when I said, "you can have as much junk food as you want, no curfew, you can jump on the furniture, and that the only rule is have fun."  It was a long night but we all had fun and now I can rest.
