I totally forgot that the kids being in school is not easier than having all the kids at home. Yes, while the big 3 were out of the house for a few hours (2 for the twins and 3 for Zach), it took a ton of work to get everyone fed, dressed, and ready ("backpacks!" "gloves and hats!") and out the door this morning. Then all the time spent driving to school, dropping off and picking up plus the time sitting in the parking lot just waiting. They really should make the parking lot at school more interesting. I start wondering odd things while I sit in the warm minivan waiting for school to dismiss:
How old is that pine tree?
Why is that window open? It's 20 degrees outside.
What was I doing on Jan 5th of last year?
They still have Christmas decorations up, lazy people.
What's the superintendent's name again? (as I wave as he walks by on the sidewalk)
Why are the lines on this side of the lot yellow and they are white over there?
If it's 10:51 am here, what time is it in China?
I also forgot the madness that happens when we all are home again. Shoes, jackets, mittens, backpacks, homework, papers, and art projects everywhere! And today is only Monday... *sigh*
