"Ummm, Winona? I'm kinda hungry still."

"Wow. Okay. Look I'll make some sandwiches, okay?"

"PB and J?"

"That's not much of a dinner..." But I'm really too tired to argue.

I guess it's Kids one, Winona zero, on the dinner scale.

I go make enough sandwiches for them all and distribute them. So much for discipline. Now I'm letting them eat in their beds.

I don't want to use the dishwasher all the time. We make things way too easy for ourselves. Once it's in the drainer, I go and empty the bath and get the clothes and towels into the hamper.

"Bobby's waiting for you," I say, sipping my wine. "You're late, and he wanted to talk."

Jayden's face falls. "Damn, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to be this late." He drops his keys on the counter, running a hand through his hair. "Where is he?"

"In bed," I reply, trying not to sound too annoyed. "The girls are asleep already."
