The first day of school is over and done with. I did all my homework for each kid last night. This kills me!! My kids have been in the same school system/district since their very first days of school and I still don’t understand why the school system does what they do. The offices of all three schools send home a printed sheet of information on the kids child that they had from the previous year. This is cool. I mark any changes and send it right back in. The clinics for each school has what amounts to a huge index card that I have to fill out for their records. Well this information is the same information that is on the office forms that they send home. Can they not print the clinic ones too? Is that too much to ask? I have to fill out these damn forms EVERY YEAR that states their addresses, phone numbers, contact information, blah, blah, blah. I really hate those forms!!!!
As far as school, my oldest daughter only goes for 2 classes a day then leaves early. She was excited about being able to get out early to start with but now I think she misses the fact that she doesn’t have any ‘socializing’ time with only two classes. She did find out that she is ‘politically stupid’ (her words, not mine) today. I had to laugh when she told me this.
My youngest daughter doesn’t like the new school that much. She says things are ‘odd’. Not sure what she really means by that. I’m guessing it’s just different than what she’s been used to for the past couple of years and not many of her friends got transferred to the new school so this makes it crappy for her.
My son is already complaining about his art teacher. This can’t be a good sign. Other than that, he seems to be more excited about this year than last year.
On a complete different note…..
The mornings around my house are sometimes crazy; sometimes they flow like water.
Well this morning wasn’t the flowing water type of morning. 
I didn’t want to get up this morning for some reason. Lazy I guess. 
Anyway…I finally get up and I get ready. I’m in the kitchen putting my shoes on when I happen to glance at the clock. It reads 6:32. My youngest daughter is in the bathroom doing her hair or brushing her teeth or something. (Her bus comes at 6:48 or so) I say her name and she says ‘WHAT’ with some attitude behind it. The attitude pisses me off so I say something back to her, not sure what really. I tell her that she needs to hurry or she will miss the bus. She says ‘I KNOW’…with MAJOR attitude. I say something to the effect of " Don’t get shitty with me because you’re running late, it’s not my fault you didn’t get up earlier". She says something back and then I return with something else equally smartassed (not sure if that’s a word), I’m sure. Ok…so I’m not one that can bite my tongue that well especially at 6:30 in the morning so we end up going back and forth for about 2 minutes, if that. Somewhere in the middle of us battling back and forth, I hear hubby say, "Fuck this….I know what time to be out of here from now on." I just look at him. Not sure what I was thinking but I’m sure it was not a good look.
Well she finally gets ready and heads out the door to catch the bus. She’s gone for about 3 seconds and hubby says, "I don’t like the idea of her standing down there (meaning our driveway……it’s pretty long) by herself…..fuck that". He says something else along these lines again and I don’t say anything to this so he repeats basically the same thing a few more times. I finally snatch the keys off the table and head out the door…saying…."I don’t fucking know what you want me to do about it….…by the time I get down there, the bus will be there". As I’m walking out the door, I hear him saying to me "I don’t fucking want you to do anything, S…. I just….." and I didn’t hear the rest. I left and got in the truck…went down the driveway and waited with my daughter the whole two seconds before the bus came. I was down there long enough to say "Love you….have a good day". 
Went back to the house to get my oldest. She’s sitting at the kitchen table looking like she’s just glad it isn’t her that is arguing with her daddy for a change. I go in and wake up my son (how he slept through all the yelling is beyond me), tell him to get ready for school, tell him I love him, grab my junk and on the way through the house to the back door, I holler over my shoulder…."Bye, D"(hubby)…..with a shitty attitude.
So I get my daughter to school. I get to work. The day wears on and I’m thinking about the 8 minute (yes 8 minutes is about what it took to piss everyone off in the house this morning) exchange between my daughter, my husband and me.
The exchange between my daughter and me was started by her (wow….does that sound like a kid or what….she started it, lol). I should’ve bit my tongue and just sucked it up and left well enough alone but I can’t do that. Never have been able to. 
I think the exchange between my husband and me was just runoff from my daughter and I. I was pissed at her attitude and I just kinda pounced on him for no reason really. The fact that he repeated the same damn thing about 4 times is what made me snap on him. That shit bugs me and he knows that. Just say what you gotta say but DON’T KEEP REPEATING IT!!! I heard ya the first time!
All mornings are not like this though!!! Thank goodness!!
