Flack's Daily Smack - Fashion Quiz

RSS Bot · July 9, 2008

Morgan went to school with a blue shirt, green shorts, and pink shoes. Please choose one of the following reasons:

A - Today was 80s dress-up day.

B - Both I, and Morgan, are color blind.

C - Susan is out of town.

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:

6:30am - Wake up, shower, get dressed.

7:00am - Wake kids up, get them dressed, deal with morning drama. (*1)

7:30am - Drop kids off at daycare, go to work.

(Work)

4:00pm - Pick up kids at daycare.

4:30pm - Arrive at home, unwind with kids.

6:00pm - Fix dinner, deal with dinner drama. (*2)

8:30pm - Give Morgan bath.

9:00pm - Put Morgan to bed / Put Mason in bath.

9:30pm - Put Mason to bed.

10:00pm - Deal with bedtime drama. (*3)

10:00pm to Midnight - Watch TV, work on my book.

Rinse, repeat, try and make it through the week.

*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.")

*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.)

*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."

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.
