7 AM

This morning, I had another early morning meeting at school. I told DD I was leaving at 7 AM and that if she wasn't ready then she was going to be hitching a ride. 7 AM came and she was still putzing around the house. I calmly walked into the garage and put my things in. I opened the garage door and backed out. Then I shut the garage door. She came flying out, shoes untied, hair flying, panicked, crazed look on her face. Priceless. I stopped the car, she flew in and said, "What the heck, mom, I was just getting my shoes on!" I calmly told her that when I need to leave at 7, she better be ready to go. Then we drove to school. I wonder how tomorrow will go when I once again have an early morning meeting.
