Just because.

BECAUSE I am aware that lying (laying?) around will not get me out of my sad, gloomy mood, I have taken it upon myself to take a shower and get dressed, and NOT go back to bed, pull the covers over my head, and try to sleep.

I am almost kind of proud of myself for doing so.

Now all I have to do is stop looking at random internet things, feed the children some lunch, do schoolwork with them, and find some non-television method of entertaining them until dinnertime.

After dinner is easier, because we can use that time for baths/showers, reading, and bedtime preparations. Seriously, if I don't rush them, bathing can take, like, two hours between the three of them.

I don't feel like leaving the house, even though I am clean, so that's out for an "afternoon entertainment" option. Maybe they could play in the yard? Is it nice outside? It's sunny, at least.

Gah. Am I really this boring? Really?? Yeesh.

Is it lame if I make a scrapbook devoted entirely to my dog? 'Cause I'm kinda thinking I might do that. Mostly because I already ordered the pictures and bought the scrapbook. Which, I guess, means I'm doing it even if it is lame.

If M and A don't stop fighting with one another today, I'm going to tear out my hair. No, not really, I won't do that, as I'm far too vain about my hair. Plus I'm not sure I'd make a cute bald chick. Maybe instead I will have them sit in separate corners but facing one another and tell them to be completely silent while they do so. That would be sadistic entertaining.

Methinks the smallest child needs a nap, as she was up late-ish last night. But if she takes a nap then she'll be up until ten o'clock if not later tonight, and I'm not sure I want to deal with that. I need to figure out what I want to deal with less.

Wow. Boring. Yes.
