Sentenced to a Life of Boredom

Friday evening, track meet was cancelled, Ruschman family all home for the evening.  We go to dinner at Gold Star...we even eat there.  Kids were super excited.  Then we come home.  Girls head to park with their friends and the friends sitter.  Adam and I take boys and 2 boys across the street to another park in Bellevue.  The girls then join us at the second park (my kids call it the basketball park, well, because that is where we go to play basketball).  Then we all head home when 3 of the 8 kids have to pee. 

They continue to play outside until about 8:30pm.  Ashley asks if her friend Morgan can spend the night.  Adam Sr. responds, "No, we have a busy day tomorrow too, we'll do that another time."

To which Ashley replies (please roll your eyes, huff, puff, and stomp your feet while reciting), "OH MY GOD.  My life is SO BORING.  I mean, I NEVER get to do anything fun.  Its just BORING BORING BORING.  My life is just going to keep being BORING until the DAY I DIE!"  (more stomping here and she begins to walk away, but is still slightly within earshot) "I have the MOST BORING and MEAN parents EVER!!!"

To which Adam Sr. replied, "Yep.  Keep it up and the 'day you die' might come sooner than you think."  :)

Oh, I cannot wait until she is 16, or in the theater, or both!
