How did that happen?

In the mornings after the kids have eaten breakfast and gotten dressed, their next point of action is usually to see if they can drive me out of my mind.



It's true.




They try every morning.




And honestly, if I hadn't long ago perfected the art of ignoring them, they would probably be successful.




Daily!




But not this morning.




They ate breakfast, got dressed, came back out,



and,



it was quiet.



When I realized that it was quiet my mind immediately started going through the scenarios of what might be wrong.



They're all sick.



I've lost my hearing.



They've run away!




Then I turned, and saw this.....

Aaahhhh, book order catalogs had been passed out at school yesterday.
