The school year is rapidly zipping along and, as was inevitable, I'm not nearly as organized as I was hoping to be.
One thing I have been able to do, however, is get myself up earlier so that I am not in such a mad dash to get to work on time. This year I have also been getting Savannah up earlier so that she can get herself ready in time to catch the school bus, something she rarely did last year as Tom usually gave her a ride on his way to work. While this was something she loved, it was not always convenient for him, so we made the decision that this year she'd be back on the bus. Because she's getting up so much earlier, she has time to kill before she heads out of the house, so she usually spends her time playing WebKinz or Facebook on the computer.
A couple of weeks ago, Tom relayed a conversation the two of them shared.
He had done his usual stagger out of bed to get ready for work. As he was heading off to the shower, he noticed Savannah playing some little game on the computer. As soon as she saw him she got a very serious look on her face and said:
"It would be a GREAT help to me if you could find my other shoe..."
Well, hello Princess, but don't you think you should shut down the games and find your own *#$& shoe?!!!
I see the teenage years looming, and it's not a pretty sight!
Needless to say, he declined to help and she ended up wearing her too-tight pair from last year. And me? I found them not 5-feet away when I got home from work.

Three days a week, I'm her morning entertainment. I chat with her on FB while she waits for the bus and I wait for my emails to unload.
That is hilarious. My daughter is the same way. I tell her to get her shoes on and she says she can't find them. I suggest that maybe if she actually looked for them it would help.
..and it gets worse!
