Tuesdays.
I am not as good of a mom on Tuesdays.
I'm kind of kidding, but mostly not.
Tuesdays tend to mean Ben is out of town.
Tuesdays mornings mean school drop offs at 7:20, 7:45, 8:15, and 8:45.
Tuesday mornings are so packed that the time allotted to me for a shower is very, very specific. And very, very brief.
Tuesdays mean a harder drop off for Katie because separation from Mom always feels a little harder after a four day weekend.
Tuesdays mean dinner needs to be cooked and eaten in the hour- long time frame between after- school Science Club and 6:00 basketball practice.
Tuesdays mean a thrown off bedtime routine for everyone, but especially for Kate and Drew. We are not home from basketball until after the time that they are usually asleep. The rush to get pajamas on, brush teeth, and read a bedtime book- and the arguments that happen every. single. time. because of this- make me stressed.
All of these reasons mean that Tuesdays drain me.
Hooray for the end of another Tuesday.
