Ugh! We have a tough time in the morning getting ready for work and school. It should get better soon, but we've had tons of time to get this down pat. I hate being in the car from 7:05 am until 8:05 am every morning!! Somehow, I just can't seem to get moving five minutes earlier! My friends are right - R & I are just a couple of late people.
6:45 (I swear I can't handle 6:30) am: get up, shower (at least a whore's bath), clean up dog's overnight leavings, get dressed. R prefers to get dressed in the living room in front of the wide open, big picture window with all the lights on. Hello! I know that no one SHOULD be looking in our windows before 7am, but who really wants to see that with their pop-tarts??
7:05 am - Should leave the house with sleepy baby A and get to Grandma's house by 7:15. However, we seem to leave at 7:15 instead!! This is the problem. I have to get out at 7:05 or it's curtains for the morning.
7:30-7:40 - Drive back home to get B out the door to school. R feeds him, dresses him. Wow! Good daddy! Thank goodness for the YMCA latchkey program at school. Without them, I don't know where he'd go!!! But the little man needs to play and act silly and talk about his games or give me some dialogue from the most recent favorite movie on the DVR. And what can I do but play along? I love to hear him.
7:45 - Now I have fifteen minutes to get B to school and get to work (20 min away) by 8:00 am. Hmmm. See - it just doesn't happen.
8:10 - Feeling like a jerk, I walk, head down, into the office. Boss & I decided to try 8:30 - 5:30 for a while. But I still am shooting for 8:00. Who wants to work until 5:30 pm in the summertime? Not this girl! We'll wait and see.
