1. Where are my shoes? No, not those...or those...and those make my feet hurt...
I need the other shoes. Was I wearing them yesterday? Did I take them off on the landing? Are they beneath my desk, beneath my bed? In the closet? Where?
2. I need to do homework. Should I start now? Maybe I should make dinner first. No, Chris will be late getting home, so I should start homework now...oh, but dinner needs to cook for a while. So if I start it now, I can do homework while it cooks...
3. I mustn't forget to take the renew bin down to second grade. Which second grade today? I think it's...no, wait, it's Wednesday. So that means...hm. No, I know this. Oh, yes! I know. So I can't forget to take it down. I have to remember to take that bin down. Only first I should get my water cup filled up with ice and water. And isn't it funny how school water fountains inevitably are redolent of pencil shavings? And what are these books on my desk? Checking in or out? And there's the bell..."Mrs. Rowland? We need the renewal basket." Argh!
4. Is this outfit okay? I think it's okay. But when Chris said it looked fine he made a funny face. Maybe he didn't like it a lot but didn't want to say anything. And now that I look at it, maybe the top needs to be different. Okay, this top is better. But now my earrings don't go. Does this match the shoes? I think the shoes are okay. Maybe it needs a necklace. No. Yes. No. Yes. No...well, maybe a small necklace? "I'm just about ready, dear! Coming!"
5. Okay, I'm driving to campus. I know how to get there. I've done this before. Okay. So. What is that car DOING? Okay, I'm okay. Is this my exit? I think it's my exit. No, no, that's the one for something else. Okay, so is this the lane that's ending? Or is it that one? Am I in the exit-only lane? Is this even my exit? Okay, yes. Um, so I think I turn left here. Only that sign looks different. Is this really the place? Well, there's the drugstore. Okay, so yes, this is it.
6. Time to put away books. Aaand. Let's see. Non-fiction. My good friend Dewey. *sings silently* 'Non-fiction! Facts and information!' La la la. If people do not STOP putting books where they don't belong...well, okay, they're in third grade. Still. Lots of authors whose last name begins with 'B.' I wonder why. 636.7. I wish the dog books weren't split up. It's hard to see the numbers after the decimal point. This book is in bad condition. I can probably fix it. I'll add it to the leaning tower of things to fix...
7. I can't believe it's bedtime already! I hate bedtime. I hate being tired. Why do I have to sleep, anyway? Okay, people go insane without sleep. But still! I really hope that in the Kingdom, I won't have to sleep. Waste of time. And then I have to brush my teeth. Argh. And wash my face. Such a production. Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.
