Mental DVD

If my mental processes were burned onto DVD, the resulting video experience would go something like this:

Monday: Hit play! Get the house picked up, breakfast served, kitchen cleaned. Okay, kids -- school in twenty minutes! Let's go!

Tuesday: Continuous play. Get the house picked up, breakfast served (to the younger ones), kitchen cleaned. School in fifteen or so minutes, kids! Just going to check Facebook again. Okay, kids. I gave you fifteen EXTRA minutes. Time for school!

Wednesday: Oops, a skip. Stupid house, why is it always messed up? Here, little ones, if you want something to eat I left some waffles on the table. Big kids, make yourself cereal. School. Blah. Maybe I can make today a library day. No, I hate going to the library with a two-year-old. It's not like school takes very long... probably an indication that I'm not doing enough. I haven't done much science this year. Maybe I should print out science worksheets! Sigh. What's going on on Facebook? Oh, here's a sweet update about love... I bet I could comment something snarky... okay, okay. Kids! Start your math!

Thursday: Pause. Prayer group in the morning, pick up this and that in the afternoon (or take off afternoon entirely). Ahh, Thursdays.

Friday: Fast forward. Week is nearly over! We can do this! Finish strong! Oops, we forgot history. Oh, well, we'll get it on Monday.
