Kari (thinking): I wonder whether or not I should put on a movie so that I can get ready to go out....which one?
Annika (yelling): Mommy! Help! Heeeeeelllllp!
Saben: Look at this rocket I built. It is the fastest one on earth and is made out of very lightweight metal. It has 12 booster engines and two fuel tanks....
Kari (thinking): Saben doesn't like Blues Clues anymore, but at least it is short. Is there something they both like?
Annika: Help..! Help!
Kari: What do you need help with Annika?
Annika: I can't get up the stairs!!! (she is lying on the stairs sort of flopping around)
Saben: This rocket is amazing, it can get to the moon in.....ten seconds! It can carry anything too, like that house out there!
Kari: Wow Saben.
Kari (thinking): Do I have time to write a blog post before I go out? Should I put in Angelina Ballerina instead of Blues Clues? What if I want them to watch something this afternoon instead...do I really want the break now or later?
Annika: MOOOOOOOOOMMMMMY!!! HELP ME!
Kari: Annika, you don't need help up the stairs! Just get up and walk up them!
Saben: What is 10 times 100 mom? That is how fast this rocket can go. It is bigger than anything on the entire earth. It can carry a house or an apartment building or even a truck!
Kari: 10 times 100 is one thousand Saben. Annika! Stop Whining!
Kari (thinking): That's it, I am putting in blues clues before my head explodes. Just 20 minutes, so maybe I can do another one this afternoon.
*Repeat many, many times throughout the day*

It's so good to blog about these times. So soon they will be past...
I try to remember somebody's quote: The hours drag by, but the years fly. Or something like that. ;-)
