* Did I sign all of the papers for school – times 5? Why do I have to do this for each kid – why can’t they have it all online?
\n *What time was I supposed to listen for that contest?
\n * Does everyone have a lunch?
\n * I need to schedule doctors’ appointments. Three years is probably a bit long to go between “yearly” visits. And one kid needs two more fillings, and is it time to call the orthodontist?
\n * What is that odd smell in that kid’s room?
\n * Why is it so hard to work in even 1\/2 hour of exercise?
\n * Sugar–why do I need you so much? Why can’t I give you up?
\n * Does everyone have PE Clothes?
\n * I hate calling businesses and begging for free stuff. I’d much rather send an email or a letter, but sometimes they don’t respond unless you actually call them. And I’m a chicken, and I don’t want to call them.
\n * The toilets need cleaning. So do the showers.
\n * And the floors.
\n * Are there really people out there who manage family scripture study together every day? I would like to meet them .
\n * I need to fold the laundry. Do dishes. Cook. What are we going to have for dinner?
\n * Things actually do seem better when I do my hair and have makeup on.
\n * I need more volunteers for the Hawk Walk.
\n * I need to have a training for my volunteer time in the classroom?
\n * Insurance quotes. Try insuring a 16 year old boy. He doesn’t even drive. He doesn’t have a car, but he still needs insurance. Need I say more?
\n * And why am I so excited to go to the grocery store for a stock up run? I must be mental.
\n * What is wrong with this stupid printer? Must it jam every single time I use it?
\n * Jillian Michaels. Does she not know that jumping jacks reveal my weakened bladder control?
\n * I must be losing my mind. Who knew that switching from playing F and G to playing E and F on handbells would be so difficult? It’s a test of my hand\/eye coordination, and telling my brain to be flexible.
\n * I really just want to sit and read MockingJay. Only I should have reread the second book because I don’t remember half of these characters.
\n * I need a haircut.
\n * Fundraisers? Classroom volunteer? Me? Yup.
\n * A stone hit my windshield a few weeks ago. Then I went through the car wash. I’m now the proud parent of a big old crack. AND a chip.
\n * Homework can be completely and utterly brutal. I don’t know if I can do 39 more weeks of this. All five kids talking to me at once, everyone needed a piece of me and there just wasn’t enough of me to go around. And then there’s the new powerschool. Could they really be missing assignments?
\n * Today is piano lesson day. Do not forget to send a check. Again.
\n *I promised them birthday parties. I’d better get on that.
\n * Peaches. Mom, would you like to come over and bottle my peaches for me?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
