Colloquially they are known as Monday, Wednesday and Friday. On these three days every week, I usually snooze the alarm for half an hour or out-snore it. No matter how well I plan, I am never able to decide on what to wear to school earlier than the morning of it. To get into the groove of the kinder chaos, I usually mail the to-be-printed documents before going to school. This rushing doesn't make much sense. Except that it is necessary.
Kids can and do switch from crying for their mothers to dancing to music in about 15 minutes time or less. Not me. If I am not AWAKE before the time I leave for school, I might as well be forgetting to take the worksheets or, deadlier, I might forget to take my pen-drive.
The pen-drive is my fuel. On all my Mondays, an enthused batch of kids dance and rock to, fall over each other at the end of, and, smile at the rhymes and songs this pen-drive holds. It is the magic wand that makes a wailing toddler stop crying. It is the mystery box that the kids wait for me to open.
I have very busy Monday mornings thrice a week, specially because it takes me a while to wake up. But, as my xe-om approaches my Little Garden, I am smiling ear to ear, much like a funny looking teddy bear.

Post Script: Did I mention, most Mondays I travel to school by xe-om?
