Week One. Check.

The Greene girls have officially survived our first week all under the same roof (w/o parental supervision).

We have learned one valuable lesson. We simply must wake up earlier on Sunday mornings. (To my judgy blog readers who are thinking... it is SO not Sunday anymore, Meghan is losing her touch... Look, BTS (back to school) has kicked my tail. Be happy that you are getting an update at all.) So the lesson. Yikes. Too many Greene girls. Too little time. I woke up and thought, Perfect! I have enough time to get a run in before we have to leave for church. Which then meant that I would need a shower. At the same time that Emily needed a shower. So, two shorten showers later we are both blow drying our hair and simultaneously begging Sarah to iron something for us to wear. So here is the thing...

Sarah and I had long ago perfected our Sunday morning outfit selection system. You may be wondering why such a system is even necessary. Well, my friends, siblings have the tendency to think alike. So after many mornings of getting ready in our rooms and the emerging at the last moment to leave for church only to realize that we both had on black skirts and white tops (or other matchy matchy ensembles), we developed a system. In the event of this occurrence, we without speaking bust out the good ol' rock, paper, scissors game. Simple solution- loser changes.

Well, that system doesn't work three ways. And there were too many navy blue dresses trying to make an appearance at FBC on Sunday morning. Yikes. New system will need to be created. At least when we have more time!

And now, for my grand question:

Why, oh why, can our electrical system not handle two hair dryers at the same time? I mean, really? It manages just fine with lamps, TVs, the iHome, the straightener, and computers all running simultaneously. But you plug in two hair dryers and... game over. So Emily and I, with half dry heads of hair, are frantically scrambling to move a cooler and bike and hurdle a lawn mower in the garage to flip that devilish breaker! (At least at this point Sarah and Emily have bartered an ironing deal- I believe in exchange for make-up as Sarah left her make-up bag in her classroom.)

Let the record show- all three Greene girls were in their pew of choice by 11:15am on Sunday morning. But we sure broke a sweat getting there!
