Mornings have become a bit of a rush. No matter how early I get up, or what time we manage to get out of the door. the morning drop-off is a bit time consuming. On a good day I can make it to both schools in twenty minutes, most days it is twenty five. Today it was ridiculous, and it took thirty five minutes.

The afternoon wait is a bit tougher. We are having to leave earlier and earlier to get a decent spot in line. That means an extra long wait for the little gal and me.

You can see her little grumpy face in the rear-view mirror. Some days are better than others. She brings along a toy or two for the wait, and I have a big bin of books in the car for her too. Some days she naps, most days she just gripes at me for about forty minutes.

I bring along a few magazines, or a book to read. It can be a little warm though. I can’t wait for Autumn weather to arrive.

The long wait gives me time to clean out my messy bag.

I hope that in a month we will have all adjusted to the new routine, and the long wait. Right now, I’m ready for a long weekend.
