And The TV Crashes To The Ground...

I have a headache.
This household has a way of running all on its own by each individual who lives here. At work, I thrive off of having a pretty strict routine with the kids. I find that its so important for them to know whats going to happen next in their day. It keeps me organized and keeps them busy... and not thinking about how much they miss their mommys and daddys. As much as I hope that the kids have a good rountine at home, (some do and some clearly dont) I more often than not feel like I am the child yerning for normalcy in a crazy homelife running on auto mode.
I wish the normalcy was down to rountine. Eat dinner together and spend time together that isnt involve eating out. It would be nice.
This entry is coming from an observation from tonight. As I sit here I am currently in a room that connects two rooms. My mom in one room and my dad in the other. My dad is glued to court tv and CNN news reels, meanwhile my mom frequently flips channels and stops on a TLC or HGTV program. Both tvs are blasting, they yell over the noise to talk to each other. At this computer I am suppose to be able to get homework done. Tell me how you would get sufficent homework done with this kind of noise going on from both sides of you. Believe me, having an ipod cranked in your ear doesnt help much either. It just adds to the chaos.
Whoever thought of the whole 'turn off your tv and spend a day with you family' day really understands where I am coming from. Maybe that person was a college student, who also works full time and 'trying to get shit done when she can' too.
Wonder how she did it...
