At 8pm last night I remembered that today it was my turn to host Gleek’s preschool group. I remembered it last week. I remembered it over the weekend. And then I forgot until 8 pm the night before. Fortunately I had the letter N and the number 2. Noah and his ark were a perfect fit. Kids love a chance to pretend to be animals. I scrounged a bag of noodles and some yarn, instant Noodle Necklaces project.
I managed preschool. I even managed it while juggling NotMyBaby and I-want-mommy Patches. Then I managed the afternoon which included two trips to pick up kids from school, three friends coming over, leaving, and coming back again multiple times, endless demands for snack food, dinner, and homework time.
I’m tired. I had stuff I wanted to write today. I felt in a writing mood, but there simply wasn’t space in my brain for words to coalesce. There definitely wasn’t time to sit in front of my computer. Well, until now when all the kids are abed and I’m too bone weary to write anything profound.
I need to sleep, but if I sleep then it will be tomorrow and I’ll have more things to do. maybe I’ll watch some Firefly.
Mmmmm…Firefly
Firefly…I heartily approve. I found that I had trouble stopping once I started though…hello, six hours straight and needing to get up in three. That wasn’t a very happy day. 🙂
The sum of my thoughts: Yep. I often dread the coming day. Staying up late gives you a ton of (highly needed) quiet time for yourself, but the back of your mind whispers, ‘Ohhhh, this is going to hurt tomorrow!’ and you say, “Shhhh, I’m watching Firefly!” 🙂

And we just watched Serenity Saturday night at DJ Delorie’s house with his great home theater system. Thumpers, surround sound, comfy couch, 52″ HDTV, and good friends who will talk during the movie with me. 🙂 Yes, I’m one of those dreaded people who like talking during films. Which is another reason I avoid movie theaters.
