I am sitting here at work reading blogs, a little bored (which doesn't happen often at work) and thought I would do a post.

I am really quite dreading the dreadful after school hours. I feel a little jab of guilt as I write that. How lucky I have to have a flexible job! I leave work at 2:30 everyday in time to fetch my kids off the bus. I truly love that I am able to do this everyday. But, it is the most challenging time of the day. I usually go home to a messy house because all chaos breaks out in the morning rush to get ready. The kids are cranky, tired, and LOUD all rolled into one and my patience level is -10. I have been trying for years to solve this problem. I haven't solved it yet!!

It is also my most unproductive time of the day. I'm not sure why!! I just can't get things rolling. I have every intention of starting laundry, cleaning house, cooking dinner, helping with homework... but all of a sudden it's 6:00 and I haven't accomplished any of these things and I have nothing in mind for dinner. Why does this happen?? I think I will make it my New Year's resolution to change this about myself (even though I don't believe in resolutions). The good news is - my sweet hubby comes home to this everyday (after a hard days work) and is just happy as can be - even in the midst of the chaos. I just love this easy going side of him!!

Anyway, I am ready to leave work now. I have a positive and a little energy (due to my slow day of work) - maybe today will be the day for change - Oops - that sounds like a campaign slogan. I'll keep you posted.
