holy shit, it's Monday again already

That was the entire weekend, I guess. Time flies. Glad not to have seen Diane over the weekend, more to the point happy not to have had the kids with her.

I'd like to get some Chinese food to go this afternoon and come home and watch the dog show on television. It's on tomorrow, too.

The kids go to the dentist on Wednesday, I think. And Cassidy has her first soccer practice/parent meeting on Wednesday afternoon. So we should go and get soccer shoes and shin guards for her. Flynn has another saxophone lesson on Thursday.

I was looking at the rough draft of Flynn's "Age of Exploration" report and it needed a lot of input, so I gathered notes from the Internet and printed those out for Flynn to look at. He's typing it on the laptop. I saw that there's a table required that includes names and explorations and dates of various explorers that he had no trace of and a map with routes of different explorers indicated in different colors! So a trip to the library might be a good idea. I can provide the information but I can't do the report for Flynn. And he just doesn't seem to get that he needs to DO IT, not just sit around and watch dust settle. The information is not exactly hard to find, now it's literally right in front of his nose. Miss Lucero provided a detailed outline, so if he covers those points he ought to do fine.

Where's the chart of explorers and the map, though? Arrgh.

Frustrating.

God, Monday already. It was an enjoyable weekend. What did I expect? I mean, it rained on Saturday and we had a fire in the fireplace. It went by so quickly. Now it's Monday morning.

Drink another cup of coffee, wake the kids up, get them fed and dressed... fix Cassidy's hair and get her teeth brushed and off we will go to school. Come back and clean house... maybe wash the car again (I like having the car clean). Vacuum, clean up the floors... put dishes away, put clothes away. Clean up the kid's rooms.

Go pick Cassidy up around 10:53. Don't fall asleep today. See how her day went. Go pick Flynn up around 1:25. Maybe go to the library to do some "Age of Exploration" research.

Get some Chinese food and come home and watch the dog show on television. Get Flynn through his homework and get the kids in bed at a reasonable hour. There's a typical suburban day. Another twenty minutes and I'll get started...
