I suppose it’s because it’s the beginning of a new school year, but people have been asking how I spend my days. C’mon, people. I have 8 kids 12 and under, I homeschool, I work from home, you know how I spend my days … in a fetal position on the bathroom floor with the door securely locked.
No?
Okay, not really. Enough people have asked for a play-by-play of a typical day for me, though, that I feel compelled to comply. Yesterday I decided that today would be the day I share the details with you. But then I overslept this morning and thought, “No! I can’t tell everyone that I got up at 8:15! They must continue to believe that I am absolutely perfect.” But then I realized that none of you believes that anyway, so what am I trying to protect here?
Well, the day is not yet done but I have written down as much of it as I can stand to. And I can’t bear to post the whole long boring list here, so you’ll have to read it in a Google doc. Click over if you dare.
***UPDATED: Enough of you funny people wrote and asked me to finish the day. I hate to disappoint, so I filled the remainder of my log.
