A Lost Day

It always seems like a lost day when Little Miss goes visiting.

First we always have the confusion of whether or not she's actually going. Once it's decided, then we have her drama for an hour or two until the pick up. Next we have several phone calls, and about 20 odd emails.

Once all that is settled, I usually try to "catch up" on my phone calls, forms, paper work and computer junk. For the boys it means play time.

Today they constructed this very elaborate world inside their room. It is complete with several different species of living things and many "lands". I'm going to leave it at living things, because certainly not all the things are human. The best part, was the peace. For a change we had no drama come out of that room.

The next part of our day was school. Today, it meant mom sitting on the floor with the printer and the math work books. It seems that everyone is near the end of their work books and wants the final pages. They want to see how many are left and figure out how fast they can get them done. Now, done doesn't mean we're off for the summer, no, quite the opposite. Done means they can start the next book in their respective series. Who knew math was that cool?

So, now they're waiting for the delivery truck to come. You'd think it was because their birthday's are just around the corner and they're hoping for gifts. Really though, we're geeks, nerds at heart, we're waiting for our phonics books and math texts.

It will be a hectic week of doctors, therapy, visits, emails, long drives, lessons and sports. Crazy long nights with The Mr. traveling and Little Miss protesting all that's out of line in her life. In other words, pretty average.
