I posted earlier today that I feel like I’ve been a slacker Mom this week.  I really have! But it’s due in large part to the fact that I just cannot seem to get it together!  I don’t have one fail to write about this week… I have several.

For starters, when my husband works out of town, as he often does March-Sept., I don’t go to bed. Well I DO go to bed, eventually.  1am is usually when my switch turns off but this week I even saw 2am one night. It doesn’t help that I’m working on setting up a new blog too, but still. Mon-Tue-Wed nights this week I was up VERY late.  This makes me tired and dare I say cranky? Yes, and tired. I did say tired.  Tired enough to fall asleep while dictating a spelling lesson. Oh yes I did, for about 10 seconds. Several times.

Then there was Wednesday night when, around midnight, I went to put the puppies in their kennel and stepped in the reason they go into a kennel at night. And tracked it down the hallway carpet.

The boys slept in several days this week, and we didn’t start school before 9:45am even one day this week. We didn’t do history, at all. We only did Spanish on Monday and the rest of the week just… fizzled as far as that was concerned.

Then I lost the plastic sleeve that contains all of our Social Security cards. I’m sure it’s here, somewhere.  Of course my daughter needs hers because she just got  a job and they need a copy of it.  We have to go down on Monday and re-apply for one for her.  I’m sure the day it arrives in the mail will be the day I find them.

And then this evening, I bashed my knee, hard, while getting in the shower. Ah well, looks like I’m a winner at the fails, this week!
