The Morning Shuffle

Mommy wakes at 6. Mommy is showered,dressed, and ready at 6:30. Mommy packs lunches by 6:45. Mommy wakes up Brenna at 6:50. Mommy wakes up Jaxom and Gunnar at 7:00. Jaxom and Gunnar are dressed and downstairs no later than 7:10. Jaxom makes his breakfast. Gunnar puts on his shoes. Gunnar eats breakfast. Jaxom gobbles down breakfast...chew now taste later kind of gobble. Jaxom gets on his back pack and shoes then stands by the door...it's now 7:25. Brenna meanders downstairs...hair still a fuss. Brenna sits at the table to eat breakfast. Gunnar grabs his back pack and stand at the door...it's not 7:28. Brenna goes back upstairs to brush her hair and find(!) socks. The boys head out to the bus stop...it's 7:30. Mommy heads out with them...7:32. The bus crests the speed bump at the end of the street...7:37. Brenna runs out the front door at 7:38 and jumps right on the bus. I ask myself 3 things every morning during the school year... 1. How can it take her soooooo long to get ready when she already dresses the night before? 2. What are the boys not doing that they can shave so much off their time getting ready? 3. How many times walking to school will it take for Brenna to get in gear? And that folks, those 98 minutes is why I dearly miss caffeine.
