Ok so my daily, or at least my Monday through Friday frustration is getting Monkey, my 7 year old son to school. While my Monkey is the apple of my eye he is also a big pain in my ass. Monkey, as I said is 7 years old and has ADHD, and unfortunately like his mom is not a morning person. Therefore getting to school in the morning is the BANE of my existence. Every morning is the same routine. "Monkey get up" again five minutes later, ten minutes later, YELLING fifteen minutes later. RUSH, RUSH, RUSH... Finally dressed, taking his medicine, and eating breakfast. "Monkey go brush your teeth, go to the bathroom, and wash your hands." Five minutes later. "Are you done yet?" "Almost." So I go up and check on him and is he brushing his teeth? NO he is playing with water in the sink. SERIOUSLY!!! YELLING, YELLING, YELLING!... "Monkey go get your shoes on" "OK". Does this happen of course not. Instead I get, crying "I can't get my shoes because the floor (the tile) is too cold and I can't reach them (in the shoe cubbie from the carpet)." CRYING, CRYING, CRYING... Finally we have the shoes are on and we are out the door. We have 2 minutes to get to school unfortunately we live about 5 minutes away, but to make matters more annoying there is road construction going on on the direct route we take to school and a different portion of the route is closed every day. Very annoying construction workers especially when one is running late for school with their pokie 7 year old. Grrrr.
