Remember how on Monday I said that maybe I’m getting the hang of this summer schedule thing? Yeah. Not so much. It is really hard to have work time all mixed up with family time every hour of the day. My kids are home. I want to take them to parks and museums. I want to run off and play. But I have piles of work to do and I want the kids to go away so that I can get it done. These two desires battle in my brain and make focusing on anything very hard. I’ve got to figure it out.
The actual physical schedule with meals and chores is still working fine. It’s just the inside of my head that is noisy.
Also I wish things would just work without requiring maintenance or repair. The mower stopped working and the grass is about 6 inches long. Link was ready to rejoice, but I made him borrow the neighbor’s push mower. He really likes it, but the lawn looks like a blind person tried to buzz cut it while riding over a bumpy road. So the mower goes onto the list of things that I have to troubleshoot along with my laptop’s internet connection and the sound card on the Kidputer.
So. Feeling tired and kind of grouchy. Which really is par for course during the first week of summer. Things settle in as we progress. This morning was actually fine. It is just afternoon which went skewampus. Hopefully I can get everything back on track tomorrow.
