One of my busiest multitask events begins when the alarm goes off in the morning.
A few days ago, my morning started like every other.
get up.
wake up the crew.
start breakfast
wake the people...again.
put on my makeup.
prod the people to keep moving along so as not to be late
help dress the little people.
get myself dressed...
oops, forgot to make lunches. quickly back downstairs to get lunches made and shoo kids out the door. check time. they're going to be late, no time for riding bikes to school. change of plans, everyone in the car, I'll drive you.
As we pull into the roundabout for student drop off, Carson looks down at me in complete horror and all he can say is, "seriously, mom? Seriously."
And that's when I realize that I forgot these...
yep, no pants. from the waist up, i'm good to go. Makeup, hair, shirt, i'm even donning a bra.
About now, Bryson starts to freak out. "Mom, the rest of the sixth graders are standing outside opening up all the car doors for student drop off! Oh. my. gosh. it's my class!"
"Quick, he says, "everyone pile into the back so they don't open mom's door!" Then he throws my purse at me and says, "put this on your lap so no one can tell you not wearing any pants."
Fast forward 7 hours. I'm driving to pick up my kids and Carson very carefully opens the front door just a crack and asks, "Do you have pants on?"
Me - "Yes! Hello, I've had 7 hours to work that out thank you very much!"
I hear 3 sighs of relief as the people pile in.
Come on, cut the multitasking mom a break, huh?
