and I am a control freak.
Thayne tells me that all the time but I hate to admit it. I have given up some of my control by letting my kids ride the bus to school. I hate the buses. I think that kids learn bad things from other kids there and I don't even think they are all that safe. I like to drop my kids off at school and pick them up. This way I can see what friends they walk out of school with, if they forget something I can take them right back to pick it up. If there is a problem at school I can walk right inside to talk to the teacher. When I drive them I can stop by Sonic and get a yummy drink.
However, I have stressfully decided to let my kids take the bus. With 4 kids at 3 different schools and I hate to bring it up but have you seen gas prices lately? I hate spending my whole day in the car. My car seat has taken on the shape of my butt and I am not impressed.
So today I find myself antsy thinking I need to be somewhere getting someone and there is no place for me to go. I know I have issues. I need to start focusing on cleaning out a closet or something. I know Thayne is saying "clean your office". It is only the 2nd day of school and hopefully by next week I will be thinking the bus thing is fantastic, but for now I feel like there is a school parking lot and a good magazine calling my name.

Haha, Adam laughs at me for this very thing.
Heather, you are just a good mom! And you don't want to be doing housework when you could be driving around being a good mom! I really like the picture of your girls at the top. How do you play around with the pictures like that?

You're still bragging! I have 6 more days!!!!
I too love the pic of the girls at the top- (so does Jared) And I love this post- very well written!!
Control freak? No your a mother and it comes with the territory. I bet you could find some fun classes to take while they are at school. There will always be a closet to clean.
