…so help me, if I don’t find that single, snotty piece of paper I am going to SCREAM! There is nothing—nothing, I tell you—like a dose of disorganization to send me careening off into a thousand different directions.
“What’s up with this messy closet?”
“When’s the last time this drawer’s been cleaned?”
“School? Who’s got time for school?”
(Not really, but I find it very hard to focus when things go missing.)
(It’s a sheet listing the prices for my children’s piano tuition next year, since you asked.)
(Did you ask?)
(I’m sorry. I’m hard of hearing.)
On days like today I need to take humor breaks, and lots of them. The actor Jim Carrey doing improv?
That’ll more than do.
(We saw this movie this weekend. It was dark but we enjoyed it.)
(In large part, due to Carrey.)

Hang in there. We seem to be having a day like that today as well. But, it doesn't help that we've been without daddy since Wednesday either. And listening? That's what always gets me. One or two times, I can deal but one after the other sends me off to a very dark place. Add to that, a child who gets hurt because of not listening and watch out! I'll pray for you – you pray for me! We'll make it through the day yet.

Wow, that was my yesterday.
The weather, the chaos, the sibling squabbles, the whining, being 6 mos. pregnant and feeling overwhelmed with the workload, and the menu planning (and shopping list planning) for the week (yuck!)…. all added up to one of those days.

Oh, I soooooooooo get this!!!!!!
One thing can set me off on a rant in twelve different d directions. My kids just love that… ha ha!

M, have you read the books that go with that movie? They are dark, but I found them so wonderful.
