Woke up at 6am, after crashing early last night… so I hadn’t gotten anything done for this morning. Shower, then woke gabe to get in the bath (he also fell asleep early.. both of us on the couch). Took the dog on a walk, but he wouldn’t go number 2. came back in, washed Gabe’s hair, packed lunches (with limited groceries, because I blew off going to the store). Got Gabe all dressed, when he reminded me he wanted to dress as a pirate for pirate day at camp. Dressed him again, as a pirate, shoved a granola bar at him for breakfast. Walked the dog a 2nd time, so that he wouldn’t go in the house…….. walked out of the house late, at 7:15, drove gabe to school……. And discovered I had forgotten his lunch. Dropped him off, called work to say I would be late. Drove home. Got his lunch. Back to school. And then in to work. 15 minutes late. I hate being late.
After walking up the stairs ahead of a group of people set to start their work day at 8:30, chatting and laughing about my start in the hallways, a coworker says from behind me, “My dear, do you realize you have a big hole in the back of your skirt?” Had to be extra careful throughout the day… as the only thing I could find to do an on the spot repair was a binder clip. (staples didn’t work)
I really did not enjoy this morning.
All that said… Gabriel makes a dashing pirate.

Two years ago you would have taken a roll of film even as you complained about the hassle. But now we get no Gabe-as-pirate pics. You’re not supposed to get all jaded about the documentary evidence until the SECOND kid…
