Menacing Monday

Ok, Monday's really aren't menacing but Chaotic Monday didn't have the same ring to it. Every second Monday is definitely filled with its chaos. Let me fill you in by giving you a run down of how it all works:

Morning:
7:45 Do Family Devotions and Morning Prayer...don't forget group hug at end of H and A will surely remind us. (:P)

8:00 Leave house and get B around the store. He starts at 9:30 but I need the car because I am home before him and need to get kids.

8:15 Drop kids off at school.

8:30 Start work.

Afternoon:
12-1 Lunch break so I eat on the run (half the time) to run to store or (now that I have a meal plan in the works possibly running home to turn on crock pot).

5:00 Leave work, drive downtown to get kids from Miss Ruth's (after school sitter), go half-way across town to get sitter for while we are in school as C works Mondays, make kids something quick for supper (that's now, by next school week that will all ready be ready for them), eat my supper in the car.

Evening:
6:00 Pick up B from store and head to church

6:30 Class starts

9:30 Designated end to classes but sometimes they do go a bit longer

10:00 Recopy notes from class neatly and highlight as needed, do any reading and/or homework.

Every things else varies as per time depending how long the last one takes but there are still 5 lunches to make yet, school agendas to sign, dishes to wash, pick up C from work depending on what time she is done, there is a cat to feed (if A has forgotten) and it is now time for bed.

Chaos! However, that being said, I wouldn't change doing it just to remove that chaos in our lives for two days of the month. I am working on plans and a structure that I am calling "Gopher Revival" instead of "The Household Notebook" and I think it will eliminate a lot of the chaos to Menacing Mondays. There's nothing like trying to shake a Bangles song out of your head (cue "Manic Monday" in the background).
