I don't need a time sheet summary to tell me I'm spending more time doing this:
(waiting in the school parking lot to pick up kids after extracurricular activities), looking at this:
(stern sign in the school bus loop) and wishing those were the only hours I ever spent in this parking lot.
*
Track and Field practises, team practises, play rehearsals, band rehearsals, late returns from out of town school trips, and on and on.
*
Today Carmen forgot to pass on the message from Jaclyn that the after school play rehearsal today was actually a dress rehearsal, and was going to be half an hour longer than usual. I sat stressing about the dinner that wasn't getting made and came to understand my mother a little better. She's a very punctual person, but she was always late picking me up after my activities. It bugged me, and I let her know it. Her response, "Better you waiting than me!"
