(A)Typical Friday Morn

2:00 a.m. I get home from work

5:30 Alarm goes off for D

6:30 D leaves for work

6:31 CBS and CGS get up to find a 2 hour school delay (due to snow)

6:32 FL hears the boys and asks if there is a school delay

6:33 FL starts crying because she wants to go to school and doesn't want a delay

6:34 the boys start laughing at FL because she wants to go to school

6:34 FL starts screaming

6:35 I start yelling

6:36 everyone is quiet

6:37 Boys start playing Wii, reallly loud

6:38 Fl starts whining she is hungry

6:40 I tell FL to get dressed

6:41 FL continues to whine about being hungry and refuses to get up and get dressed by herself

7:30 FL finally gets dressed

7:31 I get up and make FL breakfast, which she doesn't finish

8:02 telemarketer calls

9:21 the bus finally comes for the boys

9:21 telemarketer calls again

9:22 FL starts playing the Wii, completely messing up the game

9:45 telemarketer calls again

10:00 FL is standing at the door, completly ready for school, although the bus won't come for another 31 minutes.

10:01 FL is certain the bus isn't coming

10:03 FL is certain she has missed the bus

10:05 I am certain I am losing my mind

10:06 FL finds something on TV to watch, while standing at the front door waiting for the bus

10:20 FL has to open the main door (leaving the storm door closed) just in case the bus comes early

10: 21 I quiz FL on her reading sight words and she writes them on the frost on the storm door

10:33 the bus is 2 minutes late

10:33 telemarketer calls again

10:34 I have lost my mind

10:35 the bus comes and I find that a boy has been nice and shoveled the sidewalk

10:36 I sit down to eat a bagel and take a deep breath

10:37 TDQ comes downstairs in a mood

10:38 I know I have lost my mind

10:40 Jake the dog needs out

10:42 Jake the dog need in

10:45 our wonderful neighbor has completed plowing everyone's driveways with his Bobcat

11:00 TDQ needs help with school work

11:01 Jake the dog eats some paper

11:08 I clean out 2 kitchen drawers (junk drawers)

11:25 Jake the dog eats some plastic

11:27 Jake the dog eats some more plastic

11:35 TDQ needs more help with school work

11:40 I find out I know nothing about American Lit (Thomas Paine's "Crisis No.1)

11: 50 I find out I know nothing about Graphic Design either

11:55 Jake the dog needs out again

11:59 If I can last 1 more minute, the morning will be over

11:59:30 telemarketer calls again, Jake the dog eats more plastic, TDQ has a meltdown, the wind has blown the roof off a rabbit cage

12:00 Since I am writing this, I survived. I guess.
