Oh, Hello Thursday. I’m So Glad You’re Here Again

Thursdays. THURSDAYS.  The day to heist the world and give it back several times over.

Getting my son to school, racing my daughter and I to our Bible Study classes, and throwing in a few trays of muffins that have to be delivered somewhere (why are there always, always muffins involved?) along with about 16 stymieing temper tantrums, you have yourself a Thursday morning.

While Thursdays would appear to be busy enough sans any added drama, it is always the morning that It happens.

You know what It is.

It is when your purse will feistily upend itself and all of its 1,000 lip glosses and hand lotions all over the dark in-between-the-seat corners of your minivan.

It is when all the elderly people from the nearest 16 towns will choose to pull out directly in front of you and drive 15 miles under the speed limit.

It is when your daughter trips over a random light saber and blood starts gushing from her face as you are hauling everyone out the door like a chicken with your head cut off.

Thursday will be the day you get up at 5, don’t sit down for a minute, run like crazy, and are still obscenely late.

Thursday will be the day it rains that cold sleety-crap that isn’t enough to cancel school, but is enough to make your children while with the passion of a thousand beasts because it’s nastily uncomfortable.

Thursday will be the day that the high-tech security childcare drop-off system will decide it hates your key card and refuses you access to the building. (No one else will ever have a problem with this, only you).

Lest you’re fretting over the arrival date of a pending Apocalypse, let me 1/7th your anxiety.  It will come on a Thursday.  Trust me on this.  You can take the other six days off from worrying. Guaranteed.

So here’s raising my lukewarm coffee cup to you, Thursday. Thank you, old friend, for repetitively showing up on such a frequent basis.
