The first day of school that is. This day flew by and because I'm too tired to type in complete sentences, here's a quick run down of our crazy day.
7:10am - "Crap! I'm late!" Roll out of bed but secretly hope it's Fall Daylight Savings.
7:11 - Dang, the time is right.
7:12 - Take a quick shower. Where's the shampoo?
7:20 - Get the girls up, or in other words, wake the dead.
7:30 - Finally get everyone breakfast. Even treat myself to toast and eggs.
7:50 - Realize it's almost 8:00 and we're running late. Miss my bed. Dang.
8:00 - Why aren't the girls listening to me and getting ready?
8:10 - Start yelling "hurry up!"
8:15 - Work on hair. They'll survive with one ponytail and a comb down right?
8:16 - Wonder what the sitter will think of the hair.
8:17 - Start packing food for girls. Guess who didn't go to the store.
8:18 - They'll survive on fruit leather and bananas right?
8:20 - Get in the car.
8:30 - Arrive at sitters, hope she doesn't care about the hair.
8:38 - Try not to speed to class.
8:48 - Kick myself for wearing sandals when I have to walk 10 minutes to class from the car.
8:58 - Make it in time. Miss my bed.
10:45 - Yay, class is over. Dang, I have homework.
11:15 - Pick up girls. Yay they were good. Hair didn't last.
11:45 - Head home for lunch.
12:15pm - Clip everyone's fingernails and toenails. Pack school bag with new books. Pack gym clothes. Redo hair - never mind. Put hats on girls.
12:45 - Help Miss J with her homework.
1:10 - Crap, we're running late, again.
1:20 - Bathroom break for girls, quick clean up. Sigh at sight of bed.
1:35 - Pick up grater from friend to make zucchini bread.
1:42 - Crap, why is the time flying by? At least girls are in hats.
1:52 - Give car and girls to Spouse, go to class.
1:54 - Get lost.
1:58 - Get found.
2:05 - About cry because there's a quiz. Fail quiz. Feel awful.
2:10 - Look dumbfounded at teacher. What language is he speaking?
2:15 - Consider fleeing. I need ice cream. Or the Urim and Thummim.
2:16 - Stay put.
3:20 - Leave class. Sit on lawn and wait for Spouse. Do homework.
3:40 - Arrive home and get ready for the gym. Why did I bother with my hair?
3:58 - Drop Spouse off at work.
4:05 - Exercise. Think about cookies. Think about bed. Hair didn't make it.
5:30-7:10 - Get dinner, clean up, read scriptures, sing songs, say prayers, make zucchini bread.
After 7:10 - Visit with a friend, make phone calls, do homework, sleep. Forever.

Michelle, you seriously crack me up! I think this is the most original first day of school blog post I have ever read! Are you sure you dont want to change your major and become a writer? I hope you made friends with your bed again and have a smoother day today!
Wow, crazy day! I hope the rest of your week goes smoother.
Holy cow! What a day! I hope today is less frenzied!
OH my goodness! That hair, how can you let your kids be seen like that!jk You crack me up! ever thought of stand up? love ya@!!
What a crazy day? How do you do it woman?!
...So sorry it has taken me so long to respond about the hair question...Kassidy does my hair and always does a great job. She charges the same as me so...Or if you are willing I go out to Aberdeen every three weeks and do hair, but with gas prices it was too much to drive back and forth between there (where my parents live) and Pocatello each day (long story short) but I don't expect you too! Especially with this crazy school schedule, I'll be suprised you have time to breathe :-)
HAHHAHA!!
I hope you were trying to be funny, 'cause you crack me up. That post was fantastic. "Redo hair - never mind. Put hats on the girls." HA!
But I don't laugh at the craziness. Holy busy, Batman! I admire you for getting it all done -- you had a REALLY productive day! If I accomplished just the exercise, or the baking, or the school-going, I'd be tooting my own horn with pride. You go, girl!
Hope you were able to have a good restful sleep when you finally got to go to bed. :-) (And what, Miss J has homework??)
Hey Michelle,
You are the woman!! You have always amazed me with how much you can get done, and still make time to do so many fun things with your kids. Good luck with the days to come!! (Love the blog look)
You crack me up! Don't you love days like that? It feels like they happen more often than the easy days, now that we have kids!
Great job on the race, by the way. I'm proud of you!!! You rock!
