Reasons You Should Never Mess With a Primary Caregiver

Reason #437 -- A Typical Morning

5:15 Wake up

5:30 Run—I won’t tell you how far, ‘cause you’ll know my time stinks

6:10 Take dog out for run

6:40 Make lunches

6:50 Pause to wake up kids, then finish lunches

7:00 Cereal and juice for kids, start bagel and sausage for Little A.’s second breakfast

7:01 S. shows up in “first draft” of her pirate costume for Florida history class

Clearly, she's not happy with it.

7:30 Get Big A. and Little A. out the door

Rummage, search, stress, cajole and tweak pirate costume into “final draft” while simultaneously…

Changing all the towels and starting the washer

Stripping Little A.’s bed

Making our bed

Vacuuming the mounds of dirt in the front hall

Loading the dishwasher

Texting

Booting up the computer for work

Supervising piano practice

Showering

8:35 Leave house for bus stop, pirate aboard

I have FOURTEEN more hours to go, people! Geesh. But I think the final draft came out great!
