Can you pick me up at 6 pm?

I've decided that part of being a mom means being a full-time chauffeur, always on call, or juggling so your kid doesn't end up sitting on the sidewalk.

Now, if ever, I'm pushing my darlin daughter to get her license and then pushing both her and dad to find that perfect first car and get on with it. I'm done.

Apparently while I was on a business trip, Gary again was talking about getting a car next year sometime, to which Jennifer put the kibosh on quickly.

"You have no idea of the headaches of pickup and drop off," she groused.

"Yes, I do," he protested. "What do you think I'm doing now?"

Yeah, for all of 2.5 days. Try it for 362.5 days and we'll talk.

Where ARE you??!!

And hello to you too.

I had just picked up the phone to get directions to my daughter's v-ball game in Spanaway, when the phone buzzed, and you could almost see it steam.

Puzzled, I picked it up and told her I was just leaving work and I'd be at the high school in a few.

"What do you mean you're just leaving? I'm here are the school and YOU should be here by now"

The time was 5:15 pm

"The game isn't 'til 6 pm, what's the problem" I snapped back, beginning to feel annoyed.

"Mom, the game isn't 'til tomorrow. It's Wednesday"

Oh.

Two hours of school

Dropped J. off at just before 8 am today, and I"m about ready to leave to pick her up at 10:05 am. 2 hours of school, mostly signing yearbooks and cleaning out lockers. yeah, quality ed. No idea why they had school today (most of the teachers told the kids, don't bother), exp. for the 180 day rule.
