Especially tasers. <br /><br />A week and a half with Henry had us thinking our daycare lady is underpaid. And that's only one. Girl. You have mad skills.

I like not having to pack lunches each night, the dreaded early morning wake up of a quiet sleeping child, homework and all that fun stuff. I work outside the home full time but I get every second Friday off (today is one my Fridays off) and as I was laying there all snug in my bed thinking about having to get up and wake up my Son and get him off to school I actually considered just letting him stay home from school today so I didn't have to get up! I lugged my big arse out of bed though and got him off to school but I did consider it, I am such a bad Mom!jaksgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02773105053343669551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7734712521038551440.post-86288441804988585072013-01-11T06:39:02.753-05:002013-01-11T06:39:02.753-05:00I even slipped up and wore my "zip up grandma...I even slipped up and wore my "zip up grandma style" robe to drop off :-)<br />Big points over here!!Janet's pagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08495176265941572326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7734712521038551440.post-54661386337636828732013-01-10T19:49:26.505-05:002013-01-10T19:49:26.505-05:00I, too, am impressed that you can get everyone rea...I, too, am impressed that you can get everyone ready and out the door in 45 minutes.

But the only (teeny tiny) glimmer of sanity is that there is a sub bus driver, so he's been late therefore giving me 5-7 extra minutes to get that extra sip of coffee down.

The district my children attends encourages parents who would like their children to ride the bus, but who aren't far enough to make it the districts responsibility, to call the bus company and make arrangements. I don't know what it costs, but it might be worth looking in to for next year. :)Jessahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04536607888498028285noreply@blogger.com
