Spring Forward

Monday morning was rough.  It was still dark out when we were supposed to get up and after the weekend it seemed like the alarm was my enemy.  We intentionally chose to skip the bus and drive to school to give ourselves an extra 30 minutes.

(Understand....if you drop your kids off after the tardy bell you must walk them in and sign the tardy book.)

Well my clock showed we were after the tardy bell and as I looked down at my attire I quickly realized I was not in any position to walk my kids into school.  Slippers ON. Mis-matched pajamas ON. Bra NOT ON.

I told the kids, "I don't care that we are after the tardy bell you just walk on into your classes with confidence and if someone gives you a hard time about not being signed in just tell them to call me."  Cael was fine with that plan but Elizabeth (my little worrier) began to fret.  She didn't say too much but you could see her little mind worrying over the crazy trouble she will be in for breaking the rules.  (Terrible mother...MAKING her kids break the rules!!!)

Needless to say. we pulled into the school and the car pool line was soooooo long....as long as it usually is at LEGAL prime time drop off.  Apparently, the daylight savings time messed up quite a few families and I was not alone in my tardiness.

Phew...I didn't have to get out of the car or force my kids to break any school rules.  Saved for today!
