Asher's 2nd Day of School!

Ahhhhh! CRAZY!!! OK, Jacob woke me up and 6am and said he was going to the gym. I was a little perturbed because I promised him I would take Adleigh and Asher both this morning if he would help me get them ready. There was no way he was going to be able to help me leave by 7:30am if he was just leaving for the gym. So when Jacob got home at 7:20, Adleigh was still in bed asleep. She needed to be woken up, nose sucked out, fed, given her allergy medicine, changed, etc. Asher was up and finished her breakfast and was getting dressed. She insisted on wearing her green Ridgefield t-shirt, her pleated khaki shirt (that goes below her knees) and her socks and tennis shoes. She really did look funny, but was so excited, so I just let her wear what she wanted...since she was within her "dress code". I had taken my shower, but spent half the morning ironing a khaki pleaded skirt and my clothes (since I forgot to put my blue jeans in the dryer last night and they were still wet this morning).

I was in panic mode. Jacob nonchalantly walked in and was like why are you in such a rush. I just looked at him and nicely reminded him that I needed to leave in 10 minutes and I didn't have any help like he promised. A total look of shock went across his face. He was thinking we had to leave at 8:30, not 7:30. He went in total panic mode too. He helped me finish getting Asher ready and made her lunch for me...wouldn't you know it we used the last brown lunch sack yesterday and she had to take her lunch in a gallon sized Ziploc bag. I've got to go get her a lunch box this weekend!!!

So Asher and I jumped in the car and left the house at like 7:45. We flew to school. We got there at 7:57 and rushed in. Wouldn't you know it, some kid had thrown up all over the halls. So there where teacher and janitors holding kids back pouring cleaning stuff everywhere. We made our way to the end of the hall and she got there just in time. Asher walked right in and did great. I stuck around for a minute to talk to her teacher. Asher came up to me and asked why I was still there and told me I could leave now! :)

I then ran back home and got Adleigh. Jacob had got her all ready for me, so I picked her up, did a few last minute touches on myself and we ran out the door at 8:25. I'm suppose to be at work at 8:30. I'm always late! I joked with them yesterday that I won't be late anymore because Asher has to be at work at 8:00am. I guess I should have kept my mouth shut. It was only the second day and I was exhausted before 9am!!!

Let's hope next week goes a little smoother and we quickly get into a better routine!
