### Las Vegas or Bust

I'm just sitting here waiting for my lovely children to wake up so we can get on the road to Vegas. Question- Why is it that children only sleep in when you don't want them to? Case in point, they are up at 5:30 am on Saturday, but sleep until 7:30 am on Sunday, and church starts at 8:00. Anyway, the kids are all excited about the trip. I told Benjamin that he couldn't bring his playstation and he was very sad. Let me tell you why I think his playstation appartenly makes his mind go by-by.
It was Saturday. Jeff had gone to a meeting of his car club in town. Jenafer decited to take her shower because if she waited, she would be dirty in church the next day. Jenafer finished her shower and spent some time upstairs, finishing up laundry and so forth. About two hours later, Jenafer came downstairs to do dishes. While downstairs, Benjamin, who was sitting on the floor, watching TV, looked up and asked, "Where did Skylar go?"
"HUH!?!?!?! Where did that come from?" Jenafer wonders.
"Well, I'm just wondering if he left," Benjamin elaborates.
Finally, Jenafer gets Banjamin to explain that while she was in the shower TWO HOURS AGO, the doorbell had rung and all those lovely children had ANSEWERED the door and there was my wonderfull, larger brother and his lovely wife and adorable three children. AND NO ONE HAD TOLD HER THEY WERE THERE! After wondering around a little, David went upstairs, where Banjamin was playing his video game (He had left it for a few seconds to ansewer the door) and asked Benjamin where Mommy was. "I dunno," came Benjamins reply. So David, Amy and children felt they should leave.
Jenafer feels like banging her head against a wall. Hard. And Repeatedly.
Video games are bad. They kill all the little brain cells in a nine year olds brain!
