Out the door by - oh, forget it.

We all knew it was too good to last. Yesterday's departure was later than the day before's which was later than Wednesday. You get the picture. But to leave at 9.24 a.m. and by car...!!! The kids have been going to bed late and dead beat by the activity, exercise and heat. So they slept in till past 8. Not a great start. The wee one is snuffling and a bit low. That was not helped when she shook the yoplait drink bottle to mix up the flavours. Only problem was that the cap had already been removed. So a shower for both our daughter and the kitchen was in order.

Here's a snap of the mess that was left for me to clear up when they did get out the door yesterday (I know, I know, all you folks who do this every day have pristine kitchens, right?).


And just to kick us when we are down, the school bus schedule for one of Seb's two schooling options (we still haven't decided and it's 3 weeks away...) appeared in the mail today. Pick up time? 7.37 A.M.!!!!!!! I guess I could just hide under the covers and let M deal with that aspect of parenting. I mean, we did right from the get-go agree that he would do nights and early mornings, and I would do other hours (like after-school pick-up). Sounds like a plan.
