The Jones Girls

This day will happen again in 100 years,,,when I am gone, dead and buried.   So I guess it makes the day of all 9’s pretty special.

The news mentioned today that thousands of Chinese couples got married today.  Apparently in the Chinese culture 9 is an extremely lucky number.

I get everyone up at 7am and breakfast is over at about 7:25am.  Then I make Savannah is dressed, I do her hair, she brushes her teeth and I have her snack all put together.    I quickly get the triplets dressed and we are out of the house by about 8:15am.

I have to pack all 4 girls into the minivan before taking my drive to Savannah’s school.     The drive is only about 5 minutes from our house.  What takes the longest is waiting in line with all of the other cars.  If you can try to envision hundreds of cars dropping off their kids in one spot and doing it in about 15 minutes.  It is complete crappy chaos.   

I think they need to bring the buses back.    But the school district says there is not enough money in the budget.  How in the world can they have buses one day a few years ago and no longer do it now?  Sounds like mismanagement of tax dollars by the school district…that is a whole other subject and topic that really pisses me off…

Savannah has no clue where she is supposed to go.  So I had to park the car at drop off, leave the triplets strapped in their car seats in the car, and walk Savannah into the school and help her in line.   I just felt I had no choice.  I didn’t want Savannah getting lost, or worse yet, scared.  

When I got back to the minivan, I got yelled at by the school secretary telling me I was in a no parking zone, load and unload only.  I was ready to pull my hair off.    It is times like this when I wish I had some extra help,,,grandma around or somebody to watch the triplets for a few minutes while I take Savannah to school.

It is HELL going to that school in the morning.  I HATE it.  It is enough to make we want to home school.    It sucks!!

Picking up was ok.   The teacher told me Savannah has to learn to raise her hand when she wants to talk and not talk over the teacher.    I have this same problem at home, which is typical 5 year old behavior that needs to be refined and worked on.
