excerpt from an IM with my mother

:i would REALLY like a standard 5 day week, please
:i understand that this is kind of a weird thing to want
:but OH MY GOD if we don't have a day with a standard routine in it soon my kids may actually kill each other.


That pretty much says it, really. There are only so many interruptions of routine 7- and 8-year-olds can handle before they just totally fucking lose it. If we haven't gotten there already, we will be there soon.
