1. Get up early, get the kids fed, drop them off at school 10 minutes early.
2. Walk 7 miles around the school's track with friends.
3. Count off the 28 laps by eating a raspberry after each lap. When then raspberries are gone, you're done.
4. Somewhere around lap 20, you and your friend decide to play hooky from housework and go to the movies.
4. Go home, shower, make phone calls. Tie up loose ends for next week's 3rd grade party.
5. Meet your friend at the movies. Smuggle in Chick-fil-A and Hot Tamales.
6. Watch "17 Again." Laugh hysterically at Ned, the sci-fi geek who peacocks to impress the principal.
7. Run errands. Pick up kids.
8. Make shish-kabobs. Grill asparagus. Mash potatoes.
9. Bathe kids. Read aloud a chapter from "Black Stallion." Get kids in bed (a little late).
10. Have a friend come over to watch Idol on Tivo. Attempt to vote for Kris 50 times, although I only got through half a dozen.
All in all? A pretty wonderful day. I highly recommend an occasional movie while the kids are in school.

That sounds SO fabulous! I'm jealous of the fact that you have friends to walk around the track with. I am going to a movie with Nicola (Harlan) Anderson Saturday night. :-)
We so loved Ned. He made the movie for the moms I saw it with. Even though the movie turned out not to be a great idea for my 2nd grade Zac Efron fan, previewing it was great excuse for a girls' night
