I have to be at work at 8 AM and I have to be dressed and ready for the day and get the kids dropped off by 7:45. It's so not easy. Or fun. And i am shrieking every single morning about how I am going to be late and I'm late I'm going to get fired and if I get fired there won't be any lunchs because we won't have grocery money. Yeah, we have a ton of fun in the morning here too. I wish the 9-year-old could just drive him and his brother to school, that would really help me out. :) GREAT post.
