Our dog ate my child's homework, what will we do?
I worked last night until a quarter past two.
I see some paper scattered all over our house.
I just had to holler when I saw a mouse.

I haven't done laundry; there are clothes piled high.
I need to do much better, and I will try.
I have a sick child; there's dishes in the sink.
If a friend comes to visit, what will they think?

I still need to vacuum our living room floor.
Oh my, I just heard someone knock on our door.
My toddler won't put all of his toys away.
I really need to get on my knees and pray.

My teenager told me he has an earache.
I don't know how much more of this I can take.
My husband just told me they can't find our pet.
I'll try not to say things I'll later regret.

When I get upset, I need to count to ten.
I hope some of these things don't happen again.
In just a few days I need to bake a cake.
When things calm down, I think I'll fish by the lake.
