Mom needs an earlier bedtime!
The alarm went off at 735am… I usually hit the snooze and it goes off every 5 minutes. Today I didn’t… What was I thinking??? lol. So I jumped out of bed 20 minutes before my 6 year old had to be on the bus. 20 minutes!! Now that is like 5 minutes real time when you have to get your love sleeping child out of bed, dressed, teeth brushed, lunch packed, hat, scarf, jacket, gloved, something for breakfast, and out the door! I felt so bad having her run out of the house ahead of me… but thankfully she did run! Because as I was just walking up, far behind, she was pulling away! She seen me there… and blew me a kiss. Whew… she made it, and the bus she didn’t miss! I know any mom can relate, we need an extra few hours every day to not be late!
Getting Dressed for School
by Kenn Nesbitt
I must have been too sleepy
getting dressed for school today.
I tried to tuck my shirt in,
but I couldn’t make it stay. I also couldn’t tie my shoes.
I fumbled with the laces.
I snagged my scarf, and now some yarn
is dangling from my braces.
My socks are different colors,
and my pants are inside out.
My sweater from the hamper left me
smelling like a trout.
I thought I put a hat on
to control my crazy hair.
The hat turned out to be a pair
of purple underwear.
I spilled my breakfast on my clothes
and headed into school.
My friends, of course, were all impressed.
I’d never looked so cool.
