This morning running after the school bus! Grrrrr.... not having any luck this week! I'm just hoping they actually put him on the bus this afternoon! I guess I can just laugh at how funny I must have look with one kid holding my hand the other I sent off to see my neighbor and me holding on to our 75lbs chocolate lab by the collar... .ah well! Never a dull moment! lol!
 
Sorry girl! If we had a bus, I'm sure I'd miss it pretty much every day. As it is, we've been late every day this week, but everyone else is, too, so I don't feel too bad.

Aren't you glad you're a fast runner? ; )
 
LOL! Too funny! But, it's just so hard to get back in the swing of things... Luckily my daughter hasn't been late yet, yet... :-/
 
So I'll share a little bus story with you and maybe it will make you feel better about this week....

My oldest (and my first) DD was 5 and going to Kindergarten in the afternoon. And she would not get ready to save her life when I told her to. She just dragged her feet when it came to brushing her hair and putting on her shoes. Oye. It was not fun. So one day I told her "either you get ready right now or you are going to the bus just the way you are". And sure enough, there I was dragging her to the bus, one shoe on, one sock on, holding her other shoe in her hand and hair a mess. And before I could even explain, the bus driver said "they gotta learn." LOL I think they totally see it all and generally sympathize.

(p.s. after getting her on the bus, I totally called my Mom bawling. But my DD so learned. At 16 she is out there before I can even remind her, lol.)

I think this classifies as aerobics, so you have your workout done for the day!

I was so late last year, that sometimes I would drive my kids to the bus stop. :blush I'd go and get a few groceries afterwards so the neighbours wouldn't think I was so silly!:giggle

Hey, we're all late sometimes. Plus it's the first week of school for you guys, gotta get used to routine again. Don't be so hard on yourself. :hug

Claire- you're reply cracks me up!! I would have done the same thing :giggle
 
oh my gosh renee, we missed the bus for the first time earlier this week. you are SO not alone in this. don't be hard on yourself! you guys will find your groove.
 
Oh, Renee! I totally sympathize!! I am sure it will get better as you get more into your routine!
I am always, no matter how hard I try, 10 minutes late. This is why my DH takes them to school. LOL

I love that visual you painted with the dog & the other kids! Everybody is trying to get into the back to school routine. I had to push my son into the door at daycare crying today. What a mess.
