The witching hour. That's what I call the chaos around dinner time. Hangry kids. Hangry me. Of course, It's Anne's night off and Beth leaves at 5pm.

I'm barely hanging on by a thread and my intention to impress Lisa with my capable skills is a major fail. Sarah and Abby are squabbling over the one shade of pink crayon they both must have. No other pink will do, despite there being ten of them.

Bobby is sulking in the corner because I told him no more screen time and to set the table for dinner. Apparently, creepers burned his Minecraft house down because of me or something.

Henry is fussing in his bassinet, fighting sleep like it's a personal battle he needs to win. He might be small, but his lung capacity makes up for the rest of him.

I'm just trying to make sure the house doesn't burn down while I try to make a nice dinner. Yeah right. At this point it's burnt offerings. I refuse to go with PB and J again.

"Let me help," Lisa says, stepping into the kitchen like she owns the place. She scoops Henry up with ease, cradling him in one arm while she goes and grabs the territory pink crayon and pockets it.

I turn off the stove while I watch her in action.

Both the girls look at her in surprise.

"If you're going to argue over it, no one gets it. It's mine now," Lisa tells them.

"Ohhhh!" Both girls complain in unison.

"Nope. Pack up the rest of them or I'll take those too. Then scoot and wash up for dinner. No arguments

or no dessert."
