What will I do today? What am I thinking today? What is important today? Why do I feel this way? What is for dinner? What is going on at school? Will I be able to remember my speech? Did I respond to the last post? Who’s birthday is it?
There are several thoughts running through my head. Do I want to share all of them? Then, I get into the zone. I get cranking. The words flow. I just keep going. I think of what my kids asked me to do. I think of what needs to be done. Good thing I got up this morning to make a list. Then I realized, that I forgot half of the list.
The kids are home from school. I just need a few minutes to think. What the heck am I going to make for dinner? My stomach is rumbling. Am I rambling on? They are important to me. What can I do to be a better parent? I can focus on them. I can ask them what they would like? I can look them in the eye, slow down, and take a breath.
There are going to be days when they won’t be around. I cranked to get my list done.
