Morgan went to school with a blue shirt, green shorts, and pink shoes. Please choose one of the following reasons:<\/p>\n

A – Today was 80s dress-up day.
\nB – Both I, and Morgan, are color blind.
\nC – Susan is out of town.<\/p>\n

If you guessed “C”, you nailed it. 100% for you, please give yourself a scratch-n-sniff sticker as a reward. Susan’s in San Francisco this week for a GSA conference. While Susan’s out of town, my days go like this:<\/p>\n

6:30am – Wake up, shower, get dressed.
\n7:00am – Wake kids up, get them dressed, deal with morning drama. (*1)
\n7:30am – Drop kids off at daycare, go to work.<\/p>\n

(Work)<\/p>\n

4:00pm – Pick up kids at daycare.
\n4:30pm – Arrive at home, unwind with kids.
\n6:00pm – Fix dinner, deal with dinner drama. (*2)
\n8:30pm – Give Morgan bath.
\n9:00pm – Put Morgan to bed \/ Put Mason in bath.
\n9:30pm – Put Mason to bed.
\n10:00pm – Deal with bedtime drama. (*3)
\n10:00pm to Midnight – Watch TV, work on my book.<\/p>\n

Rinse, repeat, try and make it through the week.<\/p>\n

*1 – Morning drama typically involves one of the following: kid does not want to wear clothes that were laid out the night before, kid forgot to tell me the night before that kid needs to take x$ to school, kid decides he\/she doesn’t want to eat at daycare and would rather eat at home and\/or McDonald’s, or kid comes up with some bizarre thing to throw a fit about that only makes sense in kid’s brains (ie: “there’s no school today because it rained yesterday.”)<\/p>\n

*2 – Dinner drama typically involves one of following: kids cannot agree on what\/where to eat, kid(s) don’t want to eat anything, and the worst, kid(s) decide that they don’t want to eat whatever was just prepared\/purchased. (Tonight’s battle? Two kids, but only one official Shrek brand TV dinner. Had to use a Sharpee draw Cinderella on the other one.)<\/p>\n

*3 – Bedtime drama is almost always the same: for some reason, kid(s) cannot go to bed. All the usual make believe kid reasons apply here: room is too hot or cold, kid doesn’t like this particular shirt\/pajama, or this week’s classic, “you covered me with the wrong side of the blanket.”<\/p>\n

My parents told me a long time ago not to sweat the small stuff. Now I see why; there’s not enough hours in the day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
