that being my transformation from a rebellious-who-gives-a-fuck-drop- a paycheck-on-a-pair-of-shoes kinda girl to a “soccer” mom.
And this morning.. the transformation was complete. I actually drove the kids to school in my PAJAMAS!! Not that they were the kind of pajamas that you COULDNT run outside with to get the paper but I.DROVE.IN.MY.PAJAMAS!!
OH
MY
GOD!
When I needed to get a new car :: almost 2 years ago.. yea! It’s almost paid off! :: Chief’s station wagon :: aka THE CHUGGER :: died the same week. He was on unemployment then so we figured that I would get a better car and he would slink down to a hoppty mobile because I was driving a lot more then he needed to. We went looking and instead of getting the sporty Sebring convertible that I was drooooling over, common sense won out and I wound up getting the Sable wagon because.. yknow.. I had kids to drive around now.
And now I wear pajamas to drive the kids to school!
ACK!
Anyway.. so yesterday was the first day of school and I have to tell you that this was the first time in TWO SCHOOL YEARS that it’s been a breeze.
Literally.. so smooth sailing that I think I’m living in an alternate universe.
The key is that Bubba has to be in school at 7:35 and Spaz doesn’t have to be in until 8:40.
So Bubba gets up at 6.. I make him breakfast and right before I drive him to school at 7:15, I wake Spaz up.
He’s in the shower before I get back home and then I make him breakfast and drive him over at 8:30.
No fighting for the bathroom anymore… no fighting over the tv.. or cereal.. or who’s going to play with the dog.
Nothing.
At All.
Man.. this is living!! LOL
LIVING ME 101
