Thursday Morning

I so look forward to my Thursday mornings because my Mom takes the girls to dance and I get a few hours with just my boys.  I usually try to go shopping because it's so much easier with only two children in tow.  This morning however my boys are both asleep.  I am struck with time, during daylight, by myself.  I know, What?  So, what should I do.  Dinner is already in the crockpot and the bread needs to rise for at least another two hours.  I could exercise or work on lesson plans but instead I decided to read for fun.  This lasted about 30 seconds until I realized that I had overdue books at the library, so then I logged on to renew them.  I was online anyway so I read my facebook, that took me to an interesting article about not cussing in front of your children, which led me to think that I should add a blog entry, when I realized I could drink my morning tea while it was hot.  And, while I was drinking my tea I could read my book, but I forgot where I put it last night because there was some emergency while I was trying to read before bed.  I thought all this through and realized that I am a little disorganized lately.  That reminded me that I used to be very organized.  I liked my house clean, I did all my laundry at once and put it away, yeah, all three loads in my small washer.  I used to do the dishes after every meal and I had a menu for the week.  Now, not so much.  My husband says he sometimes feels bamboozled.  "I always feel frazzled, but in a good way."  Is my standard reply.  Which reminded me that I have six loads of laundry to fold and I didn't wash the sheets on Monday like I usually do.  On my way to get the sheets I stepped on a tupperware lid which reminded me I need sandwich baggies at the store so I went to write that on the list.  Now both the boys are awake and eating cereal together, not sure the 3 year old should be feeding the almost 10 month old, but they are both happy and not making too big of a mess.  Well, there goes my free time!  I got nothing done.  Now we have to run errands and do school and I should work on the girls lessons and I guess I should finish the laundry.  I have to go to the library because I can't renew the video we checked out.  And my tea got cold while I was looking for my book.  Ah, my nice relaxing morning...
By the way, I can't even say frikin, my son says it's a bad word, now I say toejam, mostly because it usually makes me laugh and yelling it when you are angry is very satisfying.
