Waiting for Potter

Why oh why did I choose to order my Harry Potter book through the mail? It's 11:15 and no book!! Not that the mail usually comes sooner but arrrrhhhh!! I could have driven to the store by now and fought over the last remaining books. Granted I would have had to pack up the boys, put on my makeup, et cetera. I have already warned the monkeys that I will be unavailable for the rest of the day. I think they are planning up something mischevious but I'll have to wait and see. Lily keeps bringing me items that she is not allowed to have (i.e., the uninflated balloon I had to drop in order to stop her from licking Z to death - I looked all over and couldn't find it when I got back, W's dried starfish, Z's new Webkins dog) plus she found out that the carpet shreds at the entryway - wah!! On a more positive note, she has discovered tennis balls and enjoys them immensely, so now we have something portable to play with. This is turning up to be an interesting day! Go Harry Potter!
