Back To School

OK, so I managed one post between end of school and back to school, but here I am again. It was by and large a fun summer...I would like to say it ended too soon but in point of fact it ended just before we started tearing each others throats out. Violet went to school today, leaving me alone with The Bumble, aka Mini Me, aka Cadillac Jack, aka Jackie Blue. I have begun his servant indoctrination already, as we are cleaning the house. Scarily enough, it feels good to get back in my old routine of morning...that is to say, get up, get coffee in me, get the kids off to school, come home and pick up. How boring my life has become. Jack seems to wonder what I did with the others and if the same fate awaits him......
Violent was WAY more nervous for school than any of us would have ever guessed, but I think that will at least let her teachers get to know her until she turns Bobcat on them....god help them both. I sent her off in a dirty shirt, winning myself parent of the year and the year has barely started! I am hoping no one notices that the shirt is filthy till after snack, because then I can blame it on them.....remember that life is really about spinning the wheel of blame. My house is very quiet this morning, and even more boring than before. Jack has no one to poke, I have no one nagging me (at least for the next two hours) and things are actually getting done around here....WOW.
On a better and happier note, I made a double batch of Schoodic Slush last night that I should test tonight just to be sure it is not spoiled in any way.....this has to be my favorite punch of all time, especially since it can be an anytime punch...the main ingredients are left in the freezer and can be doled out one serving at a time. Try it, you will like it!
Boil 4 cups water
add 4 tea bags and 1/2 cup sugar
steep 10 minutes
add
12 oz can frozen OJ
12 oz can frozen lemonade
1 fifth cheap vodka
put in one gallon Tupperware or bucket type receptacle and freeze at least overnight.
Fill your pimp cup 1/2 full of the resulting slush, top with ginger ale. I prefer to not stir it, but let it just be slushy happiness in my glass. ENJOY!
