What a day.<BR/><BR/>I find some days the act of getting out of the house with my 2 is too much. I arrived at Lauren's bus stop this morning, Lindsay's hair in an impromptu mohawk. I replied to the raised eyebrow of the bus stop Alpha Mom, "You too can have this lovely hairstyle with merely the aid of a banana!"Lady Epiphanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05079046946352148577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2674562610629395012.post-41107886965163672332007-09-20T21:17:00.000-04:002007-09-20T21:17:00.000-04:00But if you hadn't had such a rough morning, we wou...But if you hadn't had such a rough morning, we wouldn't have been able to read this post!<BR/><BR/>Glad things improved.Sharon L.

I drop Grace off at 8:20 and I have NEVER arrived at my 9:30 Bible study (parenting class at that) on time. And the nursery sneak-up-drop-off, I've done that too. <BR/><BR/>And I totally know about sitting down for a "minute" to look at blogs. I'm doing that now, before I "start supper".
