18 days notice

it's sure not warm around here, but it is summer.  i'm dragging people out of bed sometimes at 10:00 and cracking the whip on the bedroom cleaning.  today i sent jake to his dungeon to clean.  he said it would take 15 minutes.  one hour later i went down...room not clean..jake on the couch watching tv with a friend...when i asked him what was up he said he underestimated how tired he would be.  sam was elusive.  craig dropped him off for his golf league and he returned seven hours later having played 18 holes and had at least two meals at the clubhouse.  caroline was productive.  she cleaned out her closet and volunteered at the hospital.  jake and sam redeemed themselves later by working three games between them.

craig asked isaac this evening to prepare something for family night.  he was in a bit of a bad mood after baseball practice.  he said he needed more notice, like six days notice.  so craig said fine, prepare a lesson for next week.  at this point, isaac said he would only prepare a lesson if he had 18 days notice.  maybe we'll have a lesson tonight on cooperation or honoring your father or cleaning your room.
