Speed

And, no, I'm not talking about getting a speeding ticket.  That would be bad, very bad.

I'm talking about children and their selective speed.  Bean has late-in today, something the school district must have decided would be fun to torture parents with this year.  So very glad that they have changed their minds for next  year!  This is the first and third Wednesdays of the month where the high schoolers go to school at 9:55 instead of 8:15.  It's awful and just to make it worse, on the third Wednesdays, the middle schoolers and elementary students get out at noon.  So very glad this is on Wednesdays where I don't have to work most of the time...

Any-who, since I'm already off topic, let's refocus.  I asked Bean to get up at 8:30.  Hollered down and knocked for a few moments before getting into the shower, assuming that he had set his alarm.  Yes, I assumed something and it bit me on the hiney.  He didn't get up, so didn't start getting ready until 8:50.  Needless to say, even the bribe of McDonalds for breakfast didn't speed him up much, although just enough to make it and grab something from the drive thru.  

It always amazes me how slow my children move when it isn't something they want me to do, but how fast they want me to move when it is something for them.  Cleaning the cat box (a five minute project even if they don't hurry) can take hours unless we're going to do something fun afterwards...I think I will begin requiring chores to be done before the wi-fi password is given out each day.  It'll be a pain for The Boss and I, but I'll bet chores get done faster and easier that way.  

The other slow thing is a Montana spring.  Boy I wish it would arrive faster and stay once it teases me.  I've had 2 days off (worked one evening) and was excited to work in my flower beds some more.  Ha!  freezing cold winds and the threat of that s word (snow) today is keeping me inside and my clothes off the clothesline.  Bummer, love that smell.

One happy for a closing, I've been taking tulips out of my one flower bed for years, trying to get them out of the roses and this was my pretty for the spring, one I've never seen before and I know I didn't plant any bulbs that close to the rose bushes...

Be Happy, Be Healthy and Be thinking at least one happy thought a day!  (today mine is spring will arrive...)
