I just got my son off to school. I dropped him off ON TIME today. Whenever I drive him in, he has more than enough time to get in there and show his face in homeroom to avoid a tardy. He's been late more times this year than I care to mention. I am usually at work when he departs in the morning. I call him, text him and all is supposedly fine-until I get the call or email that he was LATE-AGAIN. I am off today and I was here during his morning routine, and I tell you I wanted to put my foot up his arse. Absolutely NO sense of urgency. At the ten minutes left to leave warning, he still had no shoes on, no teeth brushed. UGH. Is this a guy thing? A kid thing? I can't figger it out! Even with me NAGGING (or so he says-cute huh?) him he is still on that one speed. I am not a great example, damn AA-I must be honest here. I usually leave for work in the morning with a toothbrush in one hand and applying hairspray and makeup with the other. But geezzuss-what's a mom to do. I told the school to just give him detentions, let him see how he likes staying late every time he's late. Well people, I just had to vent-I got a dentist appt in a bit, its for a cleaning but the filling I got a few weeks ago FELL OUT and they will be repairing that as well. Its on my FRONT top tooth, I can't lose that one. I have enough issues without having a big ole gap in my face-thank u very much. Have an awesome day you bunch 'o' drunks. Queen....OUT

I'm always late. It is rude. I'm really working on it; I'm about 50%on time now, which is a huge improvement.
But you're the Queen!Make 'em wait!
Don't you just love children?!

You made me laugh with the part about you being a bad example running out with your toothbrush and hair spray. I got a visual on that and it totally cracked me up! hahaha Just checking in to see how you're doing. :) Hugs! ac
Humorus post today. I enjoy any and everything that gives me a smile or a giggle.
I used to get the blame every single time for unpunctuality ... when it was nothing at all to do with me but my step Mum who insisted on driving us to school (when we could just as well have walked) was late practically all the time! It just gets me that I got the blame off all these teachers who made such a deal of it. I was 13 years old! What else could I have done??
I am one of those ten minute early gals and my daughter was like your son. Talk about world war 3 every morning! Looking back now I see it as a power struggle between us. She definately knew where my buttons were!jeNN
