Happy Monday
Posted on December 10th, 2012
Yes, indeed.
I was chosen as the weekly “laundry fairy” on Friday, was sick all weekend, washed and dried over a hundred napkins plus assorted towels (okay, that part was M), folded over a hundred napkins plus assorted towels (that part was me) Sunday night…
…only to wake up Monday morning to discover Pea was too sick to go to school. But still I had to wake her up, get her dressed, hair brushed, teeth brushed, ready to go — all to drive about seven miles (trip time: 20 minutes each way) to her school at 8:15 to drop off over a hundred napkins plus assorted towels.
Yes. At least we stopped for coffee (and hot chocolate) on the way home. It helped.
Laundry fairy?? And you only get told on Friday? What kind of bullshit school is this?
I keep asking myself that. And then reminding myself that the teacher:student ratio is 1:11 instead of 1:30. And that I philosophically believe in not starting academics until 7. And…
ARG. It was a lot of effing napkins.
Blerg. At least it’s over. Feel better!
